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.
Ken
The ken is a traditional Japanese unit of length, equal to six Japanese feet (shaku). Its length has varied over time, but it is now standardized at 1.818 meters.
History/Origin
The ken was traditionally used in Japanese architecture and land measurement.
Current Use
The ken is still used in traditional Japanese carpentry and architecture.
