Question

The distance between two adjacent peaks on a wave is called the wavelength. The wavelength of a beam of ultraviolet light is 113 nanometers (nm). What is its wavelength in meters?

Answer 1

0.000000113 or 1.13*
`10^(-7)` meters

Step-by-step explanation:

One nanometer is
`10^(-9)` meters. So 113 nanometers would be 113*
`10^(-9)`, or 1.13*
`10^(-7)` meters. That's expessed on "cientific notation." On the "usual" notation, it will be 0.000000113 meters.
