In this article, I'd like to explain "What is 'angstrom'". Let's characterize it and answer some popular questions.
And the quick answer isβ¦
A unit of length, used primarily to express wavelengths of optical spectra.
The angstrom unit is a measure of displacement that is equal to 0.0000000001 meters.
Angstrom is sometimes used to express wavelengths of visible light, ultraviolet aka UV light, X-rays and gamma rays.
I have selected a few questions and answers to help you understand it:
Angstrom
What is the Γ₯ngstrΓΆm level...
The angstrom (/ΛΓ¦ΕstrΙm/, /ΛΓ¦ΕstrΚm/; ANG-strΙm, ANG-strum) or Γ₯ngstrΓΆm is a metric unit of length equal to 10β10 m; that is, one ten-billionth (US) of a metre, a hundred-millionth of a centimetre, 0.1 nanometre, or 100 picometres.This article ends here.
