Everything about Nanometre totally explained
A
nanometre (
American spelling:
nanometer, symbol
nm) (
Greek: νάνος, nanos,
dwarf; μετρώ, metrό,
count) is a
unit of
length in the
metric system, equal to one billionth of a
metre (for example, one millionth of a millimetre), which is the current
SI base unit of length. It can be written in
scientific notations as 1×10
−9 m (engineering notation) or (exponential notation) — both meaning .
It is one of the more often used units for very small lengths, and equals ten
Ångström, an internationally recognized non-SI unit of length. It is often associated with the field of
nanotechnology. Formerly,
millimicron (symbol
mµ) was used for the nanometre.
It is also the most common unit used to describe the
manufacturing technology used in the
semiconductor industry. It is the most common unit to describe the wavelength of light, with visible light falling in the region of 400-700nm.
