How does the Angstrom measure light waves?
Dear Galen, Thank you for your question. An “Angstrom” is a unit which we use as a measure of wavelength. It is named after a Swedish physicist (Anders Angstrom) who studied the Sun in the late 1800’s. The wavelength of light is so small that we have to use different units of measurement. An Angstrom is a very small unit (one 100 millionth of a cm) which we need to use to measure the wavelengths of light.
