  2. Angstrom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angstrom

    The atomic (covalent) radii of phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine are about 1 angstrom, while that of hydrogen is about 0.5 angstroms. Visible light has wavelengths in the range of 4000–7000 Å. In the late 19th century, spectroscopists adopted 10 −10 of a metre as a convenient unit to express the wavelengths of characteristic spectral lines ...

  3. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    10 meters – wavelength of the highest shortwave radio frequency, 30 MHz; 10.2 meters – length of the Panzer VIII Maus, the world's largest tank; 12 meters – height of the Newby-McMahon Building, the world's littlest skyscraper; 23 meters – height of Luxor Obelisk, located in the Place de la Concorde, Paris, France

  4. Angstrom exponent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angstrom_exponent

    In 1929, the Swedish physicist Anders K. Ångström found that the optical thickness of an aerosol depends on the wavelength of light according to the power law = where is the optical thickness at wavelength , and is the optical thickness at the reference wavelength .

  5. Atomic units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_units

    Hartree defined units based on three physical constants: [1]: 91 Both in order to eliminate various universal constants from the equations and also to avoid high powers of 10 in numerical work, it is convenient to express quantities in terms of units, which may be called 'atomic units', defined as follows:

  6. Covalent radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_radius

    It is usually measured either in picometres (pm) or angstroms (Å), with 1 Å = 100 pm. In principle, the sum of the two covalent radii should equal the covalent bond length between two atoms, R(AB) = r(A) + r(B). Moreover, different radii can be introduced for single, double and triple bonds (r 1, r 2 and r 3 below), in a purely operational ...

  7. Lattice constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_constant

    Their SI unit is the meter, and they are traditionally specified in angstroms (Å); an angstrom being 0.1 nanometer (nm), or 100 picometres (pm). Typical values start at a few angstroms. The angles α, β, and γ are usually specified in degrees.

  8. Atomic spacing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_spacing

    In ordered solids, the atomic spacing between two bonded atoms is generally around a few ångströms (Å), which is on the order of 10 −10 meters (see Lattice constant). However, in very low density gases (for example, in outer space) the average distance between atoms can be as large as a meter. In this case, the atomic spacing is not ...

  9. Resolution by Proxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_by_Proxy

    ResProx values are reported in Angstroms. Tests on thousands of X-ray structures show that ResProx values match very closely to resolution values reported by X-ray crystallographers. [ 1 ] Resolution-by-proxy values can be calculated for newly determined protein structures using a freely accessible ResProx web server. [ 1 ]
