Respuesta :
1 nanometer = 1 * 10^9 meters
so 1 nanometer = 1 * 10^7 centimeters
375 nanometers = 3,75 * 10^5 centimeters
so 1 nanometer = 1 * 10^7 centimeters
375 nanometers = 3,75 * 10^5 centimeters
Answer:
Wavelength, [tex]3.75\times 10^{-5}\ centimeter[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A dermatology patient is treated with ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 375 nm. We need to express the wavelength in centimeters.
Firstly, it is required to use following conversions as :
[tex]1\ nanometer=10^{-7}\ centimeter[/tex]
Now to convert 375 nm to cm, we can use the following unitary method as :
[tex]375\ nanometer=375\times 10^{-7}\ centimeter[/tex]
[tex]375\ nanometer=3.75\times 10^{-5}\ centimeter[/tex]
So, the wavelength of ultraviolet light is [tex]3.75\times 10^{-5}\ centimeter[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
