Answer:
4.57 × 10⁶ nanometers
Explanation:
In this problem we are asked to convert between two units i.e. a meter into nanometer. In sciences, the different units are used for a same quantity (achieved by multiplying conversion factors) to get rid of very small values and get a readable and intelligible values.
For Example:
In given statement the value of small distance is 4.5 × 10⁻³ meter the real number form of this number is 0.00457. Hence, this number can be converted to a very large number by multiplying it with 10⁹ or 1000000000. Hence,
4.5 × 10⁻³ × 1.0 × 10⁹ = 4.57 × 10⁶
Or,
4.5 × 10⁻³ meters = 4.57 × 10⁶ nanometers
Although the quantity is the same for same units but the number has changed.
