  2. Angstrom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angstrom

    It was only in 1960, when the metre was redefined in the same way, that the angstrom became again equal to 10 −10 metre. Yet the angstrom was never part of the SI system of units, [13] [14] and has been increasingly replaced by the nanometre (10 −9 m) or picometre (10 −12 m).

    The centimetre (SI symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −2 metres (⁠ 1 / 100 ⁠ m = 0.01 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 −2 m and 10 −1 m (1 cm and 1 dm).

  4. Picometre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picometre

    The picometre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: pm) or picometer (American spelling) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 × 10 −12 m, or one trillionth (⁠ 1 / 1 000 000 000 000 ⁠) of a metre, which is the SI base unit of length.

    The solar flux unit is a unit of spectral irradiance equal to 10 −22 W⋅m2 ⋅Hz −1 (100 yW⋅m2 ⋅Hz −1). The nox (nx) is a unit of illuminance equal to 1 millilux ( 1 mlx ). The nit (nt) is a unit of luminance equal to one candela per metre squared ( 1 cd⋅m2 ).

    One barn is equal to 1.0 × 10 −28 m 2. The name derives from the folk expressions "As big as a barn," and "Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn", used by particle accelerator physicists to refer to the probability of achieving a collision between particles. For nuclear purposes, 1.0 × 10 −28 m 2 is actually rather large. [25]
