Angstrom
The angstrom is a unit of length equal to 10⁻¹⁰ meters. It is not an SI unit.
History/Origin
In 1868, Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström created a chart of the spectrum of sunlight in which he expressed the wavelengths in multiples of one ten-millionth of a millimeter. The unit was named after him.
Current Use
The angstrom is used to express the sizes of atoms, molecules, and the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, particularly in the fields of chemistry, spectroscopy, and crystallography.
Millimeter
A millimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-thousandth of a meter.
History/Origin
The prefix "milli-" comes from the Latin word "mille," meaning thousand. The millimeter was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The millimeter is widely used in engineering and manufacturing for high-precision measurements. It is also a common unit in construction and for measuring small objects.
