Bohr Radius


The Bohr radius is a fundamental physical constant that represents the average distance between the nucleus and the electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, according to the Bohr model of the atom.



  • Its value is approximately 5.29177 × 10⁻¹¹ meters (about 0.529 angstroms).



  • Named after physicist Niels Bohr, who introduced the model in 1913.



  • It sets a natural length scale in atomic physics and quantum mechanics.



  • Used to describe atomic sizes and electron orbitals.



Key facts:



  • Bohr radius ≈ 5.29 × 10⁻¹¹ m



  • Represents the typical size of a hydrogen atom’s electron orbit



  • Fundamental to quantum physics and atomic structure



The Bohr radius is essential for understanding atomic dimensions and quantum behavior of electrons.



Nautical Mile (International)


A nautical mile (international) is a unit of measurement used primarily in maritime and aviation contexts. It is defined as 1,852 meters or 1.852 kilometers, which is approximately 1.1508 statute miles. The nautical mile is based on the Earth's geometry, representing one minute of latitude along any meridian. This makes it particularly useful for navigation, as distances on charts and GPS systems often relate directly to degrees of latitude and longitude. The international nautical mile was officially adopted by the United States in 1954 and is now used worldwide for consistency in global navigation. It is closely linked with the knot, a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. The standardization of the nautical mile has greatly simplified communication and coordination in international travel, trade, and defense across oceans and airspace. Its use continues to be essential in global navigation systems today.
