Fermi

A fermi is a unit of length used in nuclear physics to measure extremely small distances, such as the size of atomic nuclei. It is equal to 1 femtometer (fm), which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.

The unit is named after the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, known for his work in nuclear physics.

Key facts:

• 
  

  1 fermi = 1 femtometer = 10⁻¹⁵ meters

  
  
• 
  

  Used to measure nuclear dimensions and particle sizes

  
  
• 
  

  Essential in the study of nuclear and particle physics

  
  

The fermi is vital for describing distances at the subatomic scale, much smaller than atoms and molecules.

Decimeter

A decimeter (dm) is a unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to one-tenth of a meter, or 10 centimeters (1 dm = 0.1 m = 10 cm). While not as commonly used as centimeters or meters in everyday life, decimeters are still important in scientific and technical measurements. For example, a small book or a tablet might be about 2 to 3 decimeters long. The symbol for decimeter is "dm". Although it sits between the centimeter and meter in size, people often skip using decimeters and go directly from centimeters to meters. Still, it's a helpful unit when you need a mid-sized measurement.
