Angstrom - Angstrom (English spelling)

Japanese: オングストローム - おんぐすとろーむ(英語表記)angstrom
Angstrom - Angstrom (English spelling)

A unit of length equal to 10 -10 meters. Also called tenth meter. Not included in the International System of Units (SI), but shown as a non-SI unit. Its symbol is Å. It is used to express atomic measurements and wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation in the visible, near infrared, and near ultraviolet regions. It is derived from the wavelength of the red line of cadmium, which is agreed to be 6438.4696 Å in dry air containing 0.03% carbon dioxide by volume, at standard atmospheric pressure, and at a temperature of 1 °C. The unit was approved by the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1927. It is named after the Swedish physicist Ångström, who used it to describe wavelengths in the solar spectrum.

Japanese:

長さの単位で、10-10メートルをいう。テンスメーターtenth meterともいう。国際単位系(SI)には含まれないが、その他の非SI単位として示されている。記号はÅである。原子的な測定や可視、近赤外および近紫外領域の電磁放射の波長を表すのに使われる。カドミウムの赤色線の波長から導かれたもので、体積で0.03%の炭酸ガスを含み、標準大気圧で温度が1℃の乾燥空気中でのその波長が6438.4696オングストロームと約束されている。この単位は1927年の国際度量衡総会で承認された。名称はスウェーデンの物理学者オングストレームが太陽スペクトルの波長を記載するのに用いたことにちなむ。
