From unit
Nanometer (nm) — SI unit equal to one billionth of a meter
Used for wavelengths of light, molecular structures, and semiconductor features where dimensions are far below the micrometer scale
- Symbol: nm
- System: SI derived unit
- Exact relations: 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m = 0.001 µm = 10 Å
- Imperial/US equivalents: 1 nm ≈ 0.0000000393700787 in
- Typical examples: visible light ~400–700 nm; DNA double helix diameter ~2 nm; advanced transistor features on the order of single-digit nanometers
To unit
Foot (ft) — Imperial/US unit defined exactly as 0.3048 meters
Common for human height, room dimensions, and construction. Part of the feet–inches notation in building trades.
- Symbol: ft
- System: Imperial/US customary
- Exact relations: 1 ft = 0.3048 m = 30.48 cm = 304.8 mm (exact)
- Other relations: 1 ft = 12 in, 3 ft = 1 yd
- Typical examples: ceiling heights, floor plans, ladder lengths
