  1. 1 angstrom = 1.0 × 10-10 meters

    Å-¹ = 1/Å


  2. Whenever in physics you have a unit to the -1 power, it means "per that unit"

    For instance, you can write 100 m/s as 100 ms-1.

    So in your case it means "per angstrom".

    Note this also works for higher powers too (like in the case of acceleration):

    100 ms-2 is "100 meters per second squared"
