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.
Mile (Us Survey)
The U.S. survey mile is a unit of length equal to 5,280 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey foot was defined such that 1 meter is exactly 39.37 inches. This made the U.S. survey mile slightly longer than the international mile. The use of the survey foot was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
The U.S. survey mile was used for land surveying in the United States.
