OpenStudy (hesan):
1 nm = ? mm
As
1m =10^-6 nm
10^-3 mm = 10^-6 nm
10^-3 /10^-6 mm = 1 nm
i.e . 1nm = 1000mm
but it is not so.. why

nano... you must remember it cuz nano technology is all around
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(nano = 10^{-9}\)
OpenStudy (hesan):
1 um = ? mm
As
1m =10^-6 um
10^-3 mm = 10^-6 um
10^-3 /10^-6 mm = 1 um
i.e . 1um = 1000mm
but it is not so.. why
OpenStudy (hesan):
sorry that was micro meter
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
[um] = 10^-6 [m]

\(\large 1um = 1um \times \frac{10^{-3} mm}{1 um}\)
OpenStudy (hesan):
if we do it so with time then
1 hr = 60 min
3600 sec = 60 min
1sec = 60/3600 min
1 sec = 1/60 min
that gives the correct result..
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
[m] = 10^6 [um]
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
[mm] = 10^-3 [m]
OpenStudy (hesan):
@UnkleRhaukus 1m = 10^-6 not 10^6 m
10^ 6 is for mega

micro meters are tiny , there are i million (ie 10^6) micrometers in one meter
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
1 meter = 10^6 micro meter
OpenStudy (hesan):
@UnkleRhaukus yes u are right thats the mistake..
thanks
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
1 [um] = ? [mm]
10^-6 [m] = ? 10^-3 [m]
10^-6 [m]/10^-3 [m] = ?
