Formula & Explanation

Formula

Meters = Nanometers × 10⁻⁹

Step-by-step explanation

A nanometer (nm) is one billionth of a meter. To convert nanometers to meters, you divide by one billion (1,000,000,000) or multiply by 10⁻⁹. For example, the wavelength of green light is about 550 nm, which is 550 × 10⁻⁹ = 5.5 x 10⁻⁷ meters.

FAQ

What is a nanometer?

A nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter (1×10⁻⁹ m). It is commonly used in nanotechnology, semiconductor manufacturing, and for measuring wavelengths of light.

Reporting nano-scale values

When numbers are extremely small, display meters in scientific notation to preserve readability and precision (e.g., 550 nm = 5.50×10⁻⁷ m).

  • Keep at least 2–3 significant figures for nm measurements.
  • For spectra, include the medium (vacuum/air) if relevant.
  • Document instrument calibration and uncertainty where applicable.
