Question

The distance between two adjacent peaks on a wave is called the wavelength. The wavelength of a beam of ultraviolet light is 113 nanometers (nm). What is its wavelength in meters?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.000000113 or 1.13*$10^{-7}$ meters

Explanation:

One nanometer is $10^{-9}$ meters. So 113 nanometers would be 113*$10^{-9}$, or 1.13*$10^{-7}$ meters. That's expessed on "cientific notation." On the "usual" notation, it will be 0.000000113 meters.
