Concept explainers
Introduction:
Decimeter, millimeter, nanometer, and micrometer are the units of length and distance. These are the units used to measure small organisms or small distance travelled. These units are smaller than 1 meter.
Answer to Problem 1MC
Correct answer:
Nanometer is the smallest unit of measurement out of the given options.
Therefore, option (c) is correct.
Option (c) is given as “nanometer”.
Explanation of Solution
Justify reasons for the correct statement:
1 nanometer is equivalent to
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as “decimeter”.
1 decimeter is equivalent to
Option (b) is given as “millimeter”.
1 millimeter is equivalent to
Option (d) is given as “micrometer”.
1 micrometer is equivalent to
Hence, options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect.
Nanometer is the smallest unit of measurement as
