Convert 4.57X-3m to the equivalent length in nanometers

4.57 * 10⁶ nanometers

Explanation:

In this problem we are asked to convert between two units i. e. a meter into nanometer. In sciences, the different units are used for a same quantity (achieved by multiplying conversion factors) to get rid of very small values and get a readable and intelligible values.

For Example:

In given statement the value of small distance is 4.5 * 10⁻³ meter the real number form of this number is 0.00457. Hence, this number can be converted to a very large number by multiplying it with 10⁹ or 1000000000. Hence,

4.5 * 10⁻³ * 1.0 * 10⁹ = 4.57 * 10⁶

Or,

4.5 * 10⁻³ meters = 4.57 * 10⁶ nanometers

Although the quantity is the same for same units but the number has changed.
