Question

Evaluate the equation

5.67×10−8 W m−2 K−4 in standard scientific notation.
a) 5.67×108W m−2K−4
b) 567×10−8 W m−2 K−4
c) 56.7×10−7 W m−2 K−4
d) 0.567×108 W m−2 K−4

Answer 1

The original value is already in standard scientific notation, which is 5.67×10⁻⁸ W m−2 K⁻⁴.

None of the given options is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

In standard scientific notation, a number is expressed as the product of a coefficient between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. The given value, 5.67×10⁻⁸, has a coefficient of 5.67, which falls within the range of 1 and 10. The exponent, -8, represents the power of 10.

Therefore, the original value, 5.67×10⁻⁸ W m⁻² K⁻⁴, is already in standard scientific notation and does not need further conversion.

The answer is 5.67×10⁻⁸ W m⁻² K⁻⁴,

So, one of the given options is correct
