Gamma
Gamma is a unit of mass used in the context of the 'Weight and Mass' converter, typically representing a gram or a related measure.
History/Origin
The term 'gamma' originates from the Greek letter gamma, historically used in various scientific contexts to denote small quantities of mass or radiation. Its use as a unit of mass has been more common in older or specialized scientific literature.
Current Use
Today, 'gamma' is rarely used as a standard unit of mass; instead, grams are the standard. However, 'gamma' may still appear in specific scientific fields or historical references related to mass measurement.
Neutron Mass
The neutron mass (m_n) is the mass of a neutron, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.675 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The neutron was discovered in 1932 by James Chadwick, leading to the understanding of its mass relative to protons and electrons. The neutron mass has been refined through experimental measurements in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The neutron mass is used in nuclear physics calculations, atomic mass units, and in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes, as part of the 'Common Converters' category.
