Dear teacher ,
There is a question that if ''the wavelength of a particular colour is 5800 angstroms then express it in metre

So the answer coming in the book is expressed in scientific notation
So how can we express this in scientific notation ???
Like not only for this particular question if we get any answer like this and are asked to express it in scientific notation so how can we do so ??
I would be thankful to you

Dear student,

Regards

The answer in the book is coming 5.8 ? 10^-7
  • -1

The wavelengths of light is 5800 A

1nm = 10 A

5800 A = 5800 /10 = 580 nm

10000000000 = 1m

5800 A = 5800/10000000000

 

= 5.8 × 10^-7 m

Answer :
1nm =10 Armstrong

10nm= 5800A

Nm= 5800/10=580nm

10000000000A=1m

1m=5800/10000000000

M=5.8*10 to the power -7
