Answer:

Significant digits = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Significant digits in a number which is more than 1 and if the number if having decimal in it then as per the rule all the digits present in the number must be significant digit

for an example we will say

1.00 = 3 significant figures

so in this way for all such kind of numbers we have to count all digits in it

so here given number is more than 1 and it contains the decimal in it

so we will say

50.003010 nm = 8 significant figures
