Answer 1

Hello, Charles,

This requires a conversion from nm (nanometers) to meters.

A nanometer is defined as 1 x 10^-9 meter. So 1 nm = 1 x 10^-9 meter.

Divide by 1 nm to get 1 = (1 x 10^-9 meter)/nm

Then multiply 767 nm times this conversion factor. The nm unit cancels out, leaving 767 x 10^-9 meter, or 7.67 x 10^-7 meter.
