Question

Let’s explore length scales that are in the macroscopic world around us, and the invisible micro- and sub-microscopic worlds that comprise our cell phones.

• a. List some examples of macroscopic objects in your surroundings with dimensions (length, width, height, diameter, etc.) on the order of: (i) millimeters, (ii) centimeters, and (iii) meters.
• b. Describe the dimensions (length, width, height) of your cell phone or tablet using the three units described in question a. Express your answers in both standard decimal and scientific notations. Determine the area of the top of your smart phone.
• The processor in your smart phone has transistors of 7 nanometers 2 How many processors would fit if one layer of your phone was entirely processers.

Answer 1

Examples of familiar macroscopic objects include systems such as the air in your room, a glass of water, a coin, and a rubber band—examples of a gas, liquid, solid, and polymer, respectively. Less familiar macroscopic systems include superconductors, cell membranes, the brain, the stock market, and neutron stars.
