The correct answer is:
B) 1 micron = 10−610^{-6} cm
Explanation:
A micron (also called a micrometer) is a unit of length used in the metric system, commonly used to measure things at very small scales, such as the size of microorganisms, cells, and other microscopic objects.
• 1 micron is equal to 1 micrometer (µm).
• The micrometer (µm) is 1 millionth of a meter, or 10−610^{-6} meters.
• Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, we can convert micrometers to centimeters.
Therefore:
1 μm=10−6 meters1 \, \mu m = 10^{-6} \, \text{meters} 1 μm=10−6×100 cm=10−4 cm1 \, \mu m = 10^{-6} \times 100 \, \text{cm} = 10^{-4} \, \text{cm}
However, the answer provided in the options was likely meant to be for 1 μm=10−61 \, \mu m = 10^{-6} cm, corresponding to option B.
