FAQ About Enrico Fermi
What is the significance of the Fermi Unit in physics?
The Fermi Unit, often referred to simply as a "fermi," is a unit of length in nuclear physics named after Enrico Fermi. It is equivalent to a femtometer or one quadrillionth of a meter (10-15 meters). This measure is commonly used to express dimensions on an atomic scale, particularly in the context of nuclear dimensions and interactions.
