Femtometers

Definition: A femtometer (fm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10⁻¹⁵ meters, also known as a fermi.

History: The femtometer, named after physicist Enrico Fermi, is used primarily in nuclear physics to measure the size of atomic nuclei. It is essential in understanding fundamental particle interactions.

Meters

Definition: A meter (m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds.

History: The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. In 1983, it was redefined in terms of the speed of light to ensure greater precision in scientific measurements.
