How to Convert Centimeters to Angstroms
Converting centimeters (cm) to angstroms (Å) is a common conversion in wavelength measurements. One centimeter is equal to 100,000,000 angstroms.
Formula
Angstroms = Centimeters × 100,000,000
or
Å = cm × 100,000,000
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in centimeters
- Multiply that number by 100,000,000
- The result is the equivalent amount in angstroms
Examples
- 1 cm = 100,000,000 Å
- 10 cm = 1,000,000,000 Å
- 100 cm = 10,000,000,000 Å

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Centimeter (cm)?
A centimeter (cm) is a unit of length equal to one hundredth of a meter (10⁻² meters). It is commonly used for everyday measurements, such as the length of a pencil or the height of a person.
What is an Angstrom (Å)?
An angstrom (Å) is a unit of length equal to one ten-billionth of a meter (10⁻¹⁰ meters). It is commonly used for measuring very small distances, such as the wavelengths of X-rays or the size of atoms and molecules.
