What are Micron and Femtometer

Definition of Micron

A micron, also known as a micrometer, is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one millionth of a meter (1 µm = 1 x 10^-6 m). It's commonly used in various scientific and engineering fields to measure microscopic distances, such as the wavelengths of infrared radiation, the sizes of biological cells and bacteria, or the roughness of surfaces.

Definition of Femtometer

A femtometer, also known as a fermi, is a metric unit of length or distance. It is equal to one quadrillionth of a meter (1 fm = 1 x 10^-15 m). Predominantly used in nuclear physics, it characterizes the scale of atomic nuclei, subatomic particles, and the quantum realm. It's a crucial unit for understanding the fabric of the atomic world.
