1 E-7 m - Definition and Overview

To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 100 nm and 1 µm (10^-7 and 10^-6 m). See also lengths of other orders of magnitude.

• Distances shorter than 100 nm
• 100 nm, side of square of area 10^-14 m²
• 100 nm, greatest particle size that can fit through a surgical mask
• 120 nm, greatest particle size that can fit through a ULPA filter[1] (http://www.ristenbatt.com/filt_eff.htm)
• 125 nm, standard depth of pits on compact discs (width: 500 nm, length: 850 nm to 3.5 µm)
• 200 nm, typical size of a Mycoplasma bacterium
• 280 nm, near ultraviolet wavelength
• 300 nm, greatest particle size that can fit through a HEPA filter
• 380-430 nm, wavelength of violet light (see color and optical spectrum)
• 430-500 nm, wavelength of blue light
• 500-520 nm, wavelength of cyan light
• 520-565 nm, wavelength of green light
• 565-590 nm, wavelength of yellow light
• 590-625 nm, wavelength of orange light
• 625-740 nm, wavelength of red light
• Distances longer than 1 µm
