Express 10 to the negative 7 meters into nanometers. Answer in nanometers.
To convert 10 to the power of -7 meters to nanometers, we need to use the conversion factor that 1 meter is equal to 1,000,000,000 (10^9) nanometers.
So, to convert, we multiply 10^-7 meters by the conversion factor of 10^9 nanometers per meter:
10^-7 meters * 10^9 (nanometers/meter)
Since we are multiplying exponents with the same base (10), we can add the exponents:
10^-7 + 9 = 10^2
Therefore, 10 to the power of -7 meters is equal to 100 nanometers.
