Question

a strand of spider silk has a width of 1.04 $mu$m (micrometers) how many meters is this? * 10 points
o 0.00,000,000,104 meters
o 0.00,000,001,04 meters
o 0.00,000,010,4 meters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion factor

1 micrometer ($\mu m$) = $1\times10^{- 6}$ meters.

Step2: Convert 1.04 $\mu m$ to meters

$1.04\ \mu m=1.04\times1\times10^{-6}$ meters = $1.04\times10^{-6}$ meters = 0.00000104 meters = 0.00,000,001,04 meters.

Answer:

0.00,000,001,04 meters
