(a)
Interpretation:
Conversion factor needed to convert nanometers to meters needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
An arithmetical multiplier which can be used to convert a quantity in unit to the other unit is known as conversion factor.
Answer to Problem 18PP
Using the conversion factor,
Explanation of Solution
A nanometer is one millionth of a millimeter. The millimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one thousandth of a meter, the SI base unit of length.
Thus, to convert nanometers to meter, conversion factor required is:
