Have I got the following correct;
1 micron = 1 micrometre
1 micrometre = 1 millionth of a metre
= 10^-6m
To convert m to mm we multiply m by 1000, eg, 1 m = 1 x 1000 therefore 1 m = 1000mm; 1000m = 10^6mm.
Therefore 1 micron = 10^-3mm (one millionth of a metre = one thousandth of a millimetre) ?
*
1 nanometre (nm) = 1 billionth of a metre = 10^-9m
To convert m to mm we multiply be 1000
Therefore 10^9m = 10^6mm (one billionth of a metre = one millionth a metre)
*
I am profoundly moved to learn that a mm can be divided into a thousand parts (a micron); and even more so that it can be divivded into a million parts (a nm). That’s assuming I’ve understood this correctly.
