Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

A laser technician measures the wavelength of light from a new semiconductor laser. The wavelength is 8.4981 × 10⁻⁷m . What is the wavelength in nanometers. Write your answer as a decimal.

Explanation:

The given wavelength is 8.4981 × 10⁻⁷m.

To determine the wavelength in nanometers, we will convert the given wavelength from meters (m) to nanometers (nm).

1 nanometer = 1 × 10⁻⁹ meters

∴ 10⁻⁹ meters = 1 nanometer

To convert 8.4981 × 10⁻⁷m to nanometer (nm):

If 10⁻⁹ meters (m) = 1 nanometer (nm)

Then,  8.4981 × 10⁻⁷m = (8.4981 × 10⁻⁷m × 1 nm) / 10⁻⁹ m

8.4981 × 10⁻⁷m = 8.4981 × 10⁻⁷ × 10⁹ nm

= 8.4981 × 10² nm

= 849.81 nm

Hence, the wavelength in nanometers is 849.81 nm

it doesn't. it was imagined up in the middle ages.
