Nanometers to ångströms

Type a value in nm to get it in Å instantly.

5,500Å

That's about the same as green light. That is visible light, carrying 2.254 eV per photon.

What it means

What color is that?

Wavelengths are for a vacuum. In glass or water light slows down and the wavelength shortens, while the frequency stays put.

The math

How to convert nm to Å

To convert nanometers to ångströms, multiply by 10.

Example: 550 nm × 10 = 5,500 Å.

In the other direction, 1 Å = 0.1 nm.

The units

About these units

Nanometers (nm)

The standard unit for light: visible colors run from 380 to 750 nm.

Ångströms (Å)

A tenth of a nanometer. X-ray and atomic spacing measurements use it.
