Key Stage 4
Meaning
Nanometres (nm) are a unit of distance, displacement and wavelength 1,000,000,000 times smaller than the SI Unit; the Metre.
About Micrometres
- Nanometres are shortened to nm with a lower case n and a lower case m.
- Nano means one billionth so there are 1,000,000,000 nanometres in a Metre.
