  2. Bond length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_length

    It is generally considered the average length for a carbon–carbon single bond, but is also the largest bond length that exists for ordinary carbon covalent bonds. Since one atomic unit of length (i.e., a Bohr radius) is 52.9177 pm, the C–C bond length is 2.91 atomic units, or approximately three Bohr radii long.

  3. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    96 pm – H–O bond length in a water molecule; ... the distance light travels in one year; 9.9 Pm – 66,000 AU – aphelion distance of the C/1999 F1 (Catalina)

  4. Photon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon

    A photon (from Ancient Greek φῶς, φωτός (phôs, phōtós) 'light') is an elementary particle that is a quantum of the electromagnetic field, including electromagnetic radiation such as light and radio waves, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force.

  5. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    Molecular geometries can be specified in terms of 'bond lengths', 'bond angles' and 'torsional angles'. The bond length is defined to be the average distance between the nuclei of two atoms bonded together in any given molecule. A bond angle is the angle formed between three atoms across at least two bonds.

  6. Rotational spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_spectroscopy

    where ν is a frequency, λ is a wavelength and c is the velocity of light. It follows that ... A bond length of 109.9985 ± 0.0010 pm was deduced from the data.

  7. Atomic spacing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_spacing

    Atomic spacing refers to the distance between the nuclei of atoms in a material. This space is extremely large compared to the size of the atomic nucleus, and is related to the chemical bonds which bind atoms together. [1] In solid materials, the atomic spacing is described by the bond lengths of its atoms.

  8. Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    Beam of sun light inside the cavity of Rocca ill'Abissu at Fondachelli-Fantina, Sicily. The speed of light in vacuum is defined to be exactly 299 792 458 m/s (approximately 186,282 miles per second). The fixed value of the speed of light in SI units results from the fact that the metre is now defined in terms of the speed of light.

  9. Optical path length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_path_length

    The OPD corresponds to the phase shift undergone by the light emitted from two previously coherent sources when passed through mediums of different refractive indices.For example, a wave passing through air appears to travel a shorter distance than an identical wave traveling the same distance in glass.
