Inch
An inch is a unit of length used primarily in the imperial and U.S. customary systems. It is commonly used in countries like the United States, Canada, and the UK for measuring shorter lengths. One inch equals 2.54 centimeters. There are 12 inches in a foot. Inches are often used to measure things like screen sizes, paper dimensions, or body measurements. For example, a standard smartphone screen might be about 6 inches. The symbol for inch is "in" or a double quote mark (″). Rulers, measuring tapes, and toolkits often include inches for easy reference. Although the metric system is more widely used globally, inches remain common in certain industries and countries for specific applications.
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.
