Sabin
The sabin is a unit of luminous intensity used to measure the brightness of light sources, specifically in photometry.
History/Origin
Named after the French physiologist Charles-Édouard Guillaume, the sabin was introduced in the early 20th century as a unit to quantify luminous intensity, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts related to light measurement.
Current Use
The sabin is rarely used today; it has been largely replaced by the candela in the International System of Units (SI). However, it may still appear in historical data or specialized fields related to light measurement.
Square Centimeter
A square centimeter (cm^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one centimeter.
History/Origin
The square centimeter has been used as a standard unit of area measurement in the metric system since its adoption, primarily for measuring small surfaces in science, engineering, and everyday contexts.
Current Use
It is commonly used in fields such as geometry, manufacturing, and science to measure small areas, including in specifications for materials, biological measurements, and surface areas in various applications.
