cm to m multiply by 100

mm to meter divide by 1000

micro meter to meter multiply by 1x10^-6

nano meter to meter multiply by 1x10^-9

To go from cm-1 to m-1 you do indeed multiply by 100.

To go from m-1 to nm-1 you need to divide by a billion (nano = 10-9) :smile:



so from m-1 to mm-1 to microm-1 to nm-1 its divide by 1000 each time
and goin in the ova way m-1 to cm-1 itl b divide
thanks i get it
