I know this is very simple but I'm doubting myself! 

Consider a ray of light with a wavelength of 566.5x10-9 m.
Part 1)
Write the wavelength of this ray in nanometers:
nm
Part 2)
Present the wavelength in cm to two significant figures.
Make sure the number of significant figures in your answer is not ambiguous (recall that 100 can have 1, 2, or 3 significant figures - make
sure to use scientific notation to ensure that the number of significant figures is correct).
