More Information

A Fermi is a unit of length used in nuclear physics to measure the size of atomic nuclei, named after the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi. It is equivalent to a femtometer (fm) and is a non-SI unit.

Tips

A common mistake is confusing the exponent. Remember that Fermi pertains to extremely small length scales, appropriate in nuclear physics, so it is 10^-15 meters.
