What are Square Inch and Electron Cross Section

Definition of Square Inch

A square inch (in²) is a unit of area measurement equivalent to the area of a square with sides of one inch in length. One square inch is equal to 6.4516 square centimeters. It is a widely used unit in the United States and the United Kingdom for measuring real estate, architecture, and interior spaces.

Definition of Electron Cross Section

The electron cross section is a measure of the probability of an electron interacting with a target particle or system. It is used in physics to quantify collisions or reactions between particles. The unit 'barn', symbolized as 'b', is often used where 1 b = 10⁻²⁴ cm². The term 'cross section' derives from the effective target area that an incoming particle 'sees' during a collision.
