Ans. 1 Å = 10-10 m

A measurement of displacement equal to 0.0000000001 meters is called an angstrom, commonly known as the angstrom unit. It may also be used to represent the wavelengths of gamma rays, X-rays, UV radiation, and visible light.

The word "measure" in Greek is where the name "meter" or "meter" first appeared. In the International System of Units or SI units, the basic unit for length is the meter. It is denoted with the letter "m." The word "meter" can also be used to refer to meters, another length Measurement.

1\; \AA = 10^{-10} m \\ 1\; meter [m] = 10,00,00,00,000 \: Angstrom\; [\AA ]

History Of The Unit Angstrom

It has the name of the Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström from the nineteenth century. The angstrom is also used to gauge atomic and molecular sizes (the majority of elements contain atoms with radii between 1 and 2) as well as the thickness of coatings on liquids.

History Of The Unit Meters

The Earth's circumference is around 40000 km, according to the original definition of the meter in 1793, which was one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the North Pole on a great circle. The meter was redefined in 1799 using a model meter bar (the actual bar used was changed in 1889). The definition of the meter in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a specific krypton-86 emission line was made in 1960. The present definition was approved in 1983 and somewhat changed in 2002 to make it clear that the meter is a legitimate length measurement. From 1983 to 2019, the official definition of a meter was the distance that light would travel in a vacuum in 1/299792458 of a second.

Examples

Example1. Convert 20 meters to angstrom?

Solution: We\; know, \; 1 \; meter [m] = 10000000000 \; Angstrom \\

20\: m = 20\: X\: 10000000000\; \AA \\

20 \: m = 200000000000\: \AA

Example2. Convert 20 angstroms to meters?

Solution: We know,1\; \AA = 10^{-10} m \\

20 \AA \: = 20\; X\: 10^{-10} m
