Electromagnetic radiation in the mid-infrared region of the spectrum has wavelengths around 0.6 $\mu$m. Express this wavelength in meters using exponential notation (1 $\mu$m = 10^-⁶ m).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the given conversion factor, we have:
0.6 μm = 0.6 x 10^-6 m = 6 x 10^-7 m
Writing this in exponential notation, we get:
6 x 10^-7 m = 0.6 x 10^-6 m = 1.06 x 10^(10-15) m = 1.06 x 10^-5 m
Therefore, the correct answer is B, 1.06 x 10^-5 m.
