QuestionConvert the wavelength of light, 8×10−28 \times 10^{-2} meter, into decimal form: 8×10−2 meter =□ meter 8 \times 10^{-2} \text{ meter }=\square \text{ meter }

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The wavelength of light is given as 8×10−8 \times10^{-} meter. We need to express this wavelength as a decimal

STEP 2

The given wavelength is in scientific notation. To convert it to a decimal, we need to move the decimal point two places to the left because the exponent of10 is -2.
8×10−2 meter =8.0×10−2 meter 8 \times10^{-2} \text { meter } =8.0 \times10^{-2} \text { meter }

STEP 3

Now, move the decimal point two places to the left.
8.0×10−2 meter =0.08 meter 8.0 \times10^{-2} \text { meter } =0.08 \text { meter }The wavelength of the light as a decimal is0.08 meter.
