Long Reed

The long reed is an old English unit of length used primarily in measuring land, especially in agriculture and surveying. It is traditionally equal to 16.5 feet or 5.03 meters.

The long reed was used alongside other units like the rod, pole, and perch, often interchangeably, to measure distances and plot boundaries.

Key points:

• 
  

  1 long reed = 16.5 feet ≈ 5.03 meters

  
  
• 
  

  Used historically in land measurement and agriculture

  
  
• 
  

  Equivalent or similar to the rod, pole, or perch

  
  
• 
  

  Important in English customary measurement systems

  
  

Though obsolete now, the long reed is part of the rich history of traditional English measurement units.

Ångström

An ångström (symbol: Å) is a unit of length commonly used in physics, chemistry, and biology to measure very small distances, such as atomic and molecular scales. It is equal to 10⁻¹⁰ meters, or 0.1 nanometers (nm).

The unit is named after the Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström, who made significant contributions to spectroscopy.

Key facts:

• 
  

  1 ångström = 10⁻¹⁰ meters = 0.1 nanometers

  
  
• 
  

  Used to measure atomic and molecular sizes, wavelengths of light, and crystal lattice constants

  
  
• 
  

  Common in fields like crystallography, chemistry, and materials science

  
  

Though largely replaced by the nanometer in the SI system, the ångström remains widely used in scientific literature to describe very small lengths.
