Answer to Problem 155AP

103 or + 3 power of 10 for the prefix of 540 kilohertz radio frequency.

Explanation of Solution

In chemistry physical quantities are such as weights, length temperature etc measured in the international system of units which are known as metric system

Some common unit of Metric system are as follows:

  1. Meter (m) is unit of length.
  2. Liter (L) is unit of volume.
  3. Gram (g) and kilogram (kg) are units of mass.
  4. Degree Celsius ( o C  ) is unit of temperature.
  5. Second (s) is unit of time.

In the metric system, prefixes are used to denote about smaller or larger measurements. Generally used along with their abbreviation and meaning are as follows:
