Final answer:
To convert 4 meters to cm, μm, and nm in scientific notation: it is 4 x 10² cm, 4 x 10⁶ μm, and 4 x 10⁹ nm, respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
To express 4 meters in terms of cm, μm, and nm in scientific notation, we will convert each unit separately:
- For centimeters (cm), since 1 meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters, 4 m is 4 x 10² cm.
- For micrometers (μm), since 1 meter is equivalent to 1,000,000 micrometers, 4 m is 4 x 10⁶ μm.
- For nanometers (nm), since 1 meter is equivalent to 1,000,000,000 nanometers, 4 m is 4 x 10⁹ nm.
