| Question : |
|
How are the smallest measurements expressed ? |
Answer : |
|
There are two units in the measure of all small distances, the
Micron(m) and the Angstrom unit (Å.u.).
|
|
A Micron is the millionth of a metre and there are about 25000
microns in an inch. One Angstrom unit equals one ten thousand
millionth of a metre. One Micron equals 10,000 times the length
of an Angstrom unit. |
Breadth of a hair = 75b
Diameter of red blood corpuscle = 2m
Diameter of spherical bacterium = 0.5m
Diameter of molecule of water = 0.00205m or 2.5 A.m.
