The formulas for conversion are represented below:
nm = m * 1,000,000,000
Example: 30 Meters in Nanometers:
nm = m * 1.000.000.000
nm = 30 * 1.000.000.000
nm = 3x1010
m = nm / 1,000,000,000
Example: 1500 Nanometers in Meters:
m = nm / 1.000.000.000
m = 1500 / 1.000.000.000
m = 1,5x10-6
Considering that 1 Meter is equivalent to 1000000000 Nanometers, you can use a rule of three to get that 100 Meters equals 100,000,000,000 Nanometers.
1 m - 1.000.000.000 nm
100 m - x
Apply the rule of three and get:
x m = 100.000.000.000nmm2
x = 100.000.000.000 nm
If every 1,000,000,000 Nanometers we have 1 Meter, just divide the number of Nanometers (10000) by 1x109, so you will get that 10000 nm equals 1x10- 5 m. Observe the calculation below:
m = nm / 1.000.000.000
m = 10000 / 1.000.000.000
m = 1x10-5
