Hi there.
00:04
In this question, we have 550 nanometers.
00:11
And we would like to convert that to centimeters.
00:15
Well, if we think about the relationship between nanometer and centimeter, in one meter, there are one times 10 to the second centimeters.
00:27
In other words, there's 100 centimeters in a meter.
00:31
In that same one meter, there are one times 10 to the 9 nanometers.
00:39
Therefore, the difference between centi and nano is 10 to the 7th.
00:46
In one of the larger units, in other words, one centimeter, they're going to be 10 to the 7th or 1 times 10 to the 7th of the smaller unit, since they are 7 powers of 10 away from each other.
01:02
And centi is larger than nano.
01:04
So this is the equality here that we want to use in our dimensional analysis...
