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 Meter
A square meter (m^2) is the SI unit of area, representing the area of a square with sides of one meter each.
History/Origin
The square meter was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, based on the meter defined by the speed of light, and has since become the standard unit for measuring area in the metric system.
Current Use
The square meter is widely used in various fields such as real estate, architecture, land measurement, and engineering to quantify surface areas of spaces and objects.
