Understanding Meter to Nanometer Conversion
What is a Meter?
A meter (m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It's defined as the length of the path traveled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second.
What is a Nanometer?
A nanometer (nm) is one billionth (10⁻⁹) of a meter. It's commonly used in nanotechnology, semiconductor manufacturing, and wavelengths of light measurement.
Conversion Formula
To convert meters to nanometers, multiply the meter value by 1,000,000,000 (10⁹):
Nanometers = Meters × 1,000,000,000
Common Applications
- Semiconductor manufacturing processes
- Measuring wavelengths of visible light (400-700 nm)
- Nanotechnology research and development
- Molecular and atomic scale measurements
