Nanometers (nm) are critical in nanotechnology, biology (DNA helix = 2 nm wide), and computing (transistors are 3–5 nm). A human hair is ~80,000 nm thick. The Decimeter (dm) is useful for medium-sized objects like the length of a notebook (2-3 dm), the height of a water bottle (2.5 dm), or the width of a laptop (3-4 dm). Often used in education and everyday measurements.
To convert between Nanometer (nm) and Decimeter (dm), use the following formulas:
1 Nanometer (nm) = 1e-8 Decimeter (dm)
1 Decimeter (dm) = 100000000 Nanometer (nm)
1 nm = 1 * 1e-8 dm = 1e-8 dm
10 nm = 10 * 1e-8 dm = 1e-7 dm
100 nm = 100 * 1e-8 dm = 0.000001 dm
500 nm = 500 * 1e-8 dm = 0.000005 dm
| Nanometer (nm) | Decimeter (dm) |
|---|---|
| 1 nm | 1e-8 dm |
| 5 nm | 5e-8 dm |
| 10 nm | 1e-7 dm |
| 50 nm | 5e-7 dm |
| 100 nm | 0.000001 dm |
| 500 nm | 0.000005 dm |
