Question

(a) Red light has a wavelength of roughly 700 nm. What is the wavelength in m? ball park 10.10' (b) What is the wavelength of red light in inches? ball park-Join It is 90.123 km from here to Stockton. What is the distance in chains? (one foot -0.1515152 chain) ball park-xlo'chains My old laptop hard drive apparently has a capacity of 697.8 GB (gigabytes).

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

a) Wavelength of red light = 700 nm

1 nanometer =
`10^(-9) meter`

Wavelength of red light in meter will be:

`=700 nm=700* 10^(-9) m=7.00* 10^(-7) m`

b) Wavelength of red light =
`7.00* 10^(-7) m`

1 meter = 39.3701 inches

Wavelength of red light in inches will be:

`7.00* 10^(-7) m=7.00* 10^(-7)* 39.3701 inches`

`=2.7559* 10^(-5) inches`

2)

Value of distance given = 90.123 km

1 km = 3280.84 feet

`90.123 km=90.123 * 3280.84 feet=295,679.1433 feet`

1 foot = 0.1515152 chain

`295,679.1433 feet=295,679.1433* 0.1515152 chain`

`=44,799.88453 feet\approx 4.48* 10^4 chains`

Value of distance in chains:

`90.123 km=4.48* 10^4 chains`
