Answer

The two units of length smaller than a metre are —

  1. Angstrom (Å) — To express the wavelength of light, size and separation between two molecules (or atoms), radius of orbit of electron, etc. a small size unit is used called the Angstrom. Relation between metre and angstrom is expressed as:
        1 Angstrom = 10-10m
  2. Fermi (f) — Size of the nucleus is expressed by a still smaller unit called Fermi. Relation between metre and fermi is expressed as:
        1 fermi = 10-15m
