Light frequencies, and especially infrared, are often still described as
a wavelength in nanometres.


Whereas at one time they were quoted in Angstroms - when 1 ? is 0.1 nm or
100 pm.


I remember them! I came across them regarding X-rays, I don't know if
they are still used in that field.

In our lab at BP we quoted small wavelengths in nanometres.
