One micron represents a length of
A. 10-6 cm
B. 10-4 cm
C. 1 mm
D. 1 m
Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The correct answer is Option B: 10-4 cm.Here's why:
Micron is another name for micrometer.
The prefix "micro-" always means one millionth (1/1,000,000) or 10-6.
So, 1 micron = 1 micrometer = 10-6 meters.
Now, we need to convert meters to centimeters.
We know that 1 meter = 100 centimeters or 102 centimeters.
Therefore, 1 micron = 10-6 meters = 10-6 * 102 centimeters = 10-6+2 centimeters = 10-4 centimeters.
So, one micron represents a length of 10-4 cm.
