b 5.8 μm
c 319 nm
d 15.3 ms

Expert Solution
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The given terms of SI base unit and prefix has to be expressed as power of 10.
Concept Introduction:
Metric prefix is the one which follows a basic unit of measurement in order to indicate fraction or multiple of the units. There are seven SI base units. From these base units all the other units can be derived. Prefix is used to indicate the value in power of 10. This is a physical quantity and it is known as SI prefix. The seven base units are meter, kilogram, second, kelvin, mole, ampere, and candela. Some of the prefix are mega, kilo, deci, centi etc.
Answer to Problem 1.113QP
The given terms of SI base unit and prefix has to be expressed as power of 10 is 1.07×10-12s.
Explanation of Solution
The term that is given in the problem statement is 1.07ps
This can be expressed with power of 10 as follows,
1 ps =10-12 sTherefore,1.07 ps=1.07 ×10-12 s

Answer to Problem 1.113QP
The given terms of SI base unit and prefix has to be expressed as power of 10 is 5.8×10-6m.
Explanation of Solution
The term that is given in the problem statement is 5.8μm
This can be expressed with power of 10 as follows,
1 μm =10-6 mTherefore,5.8 μm=5.8 ×10-6 m

Answer to Problem 1.113QP
The given terms of SI base unit and prefix has to be expressed as power of 10 is 3.19×10-7m.
Explanation of Solution
The term that is given in the problem statement is 319 nm
This can be expressed with power of 10 as follows,
1 nm =10-9 mTherefore,319 nm=319 ×10-9 m=3.19 ×10-7 m

Answer to Problem 1.113QP
The given terms of SI base unit and prefix has to be expressed as power of 10 is 1.53×10-2s.
Explanation of Solution
The term that is given in the problem statement is 15.3 ms
This can be expressed with power of 10 as follows,
1 ms =10-3 sTherefore,15.3ms=15.3 ×10-3 s=1.53 ×10-2 s
