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
