The discussion revolves around the conversion of wavelengths expressed in angstroms to meters. Participants explore the definition and usage of the angstrom unit in the context of wavelengths, particularly in the far ultraviolet range.
There is no explicit consensus on the conversion process, but multiple participants agree on the definition of an angstrom and its equivalence to meters. However, the discussion does not resolve the initial request for conversion methodology.
Participants do not clarify any assumptions regarding the context of the wavelengths being discussed or the specific application of the conversion.
This discussion may be useful for individuals interested in the conversion of units in physics, particularly in the context of wavelengths in spectroscopy or related fields.
I thought they spelled it ångström after the Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström. A pretty small unit, and wavelengths may be expressed in them. The far UV is approximately 100Å.cristo said:Do you mean an angstrom? If so, one angstrom is equal to 10^-10m.
