Answer to Problem 1MC

Correct answer:

Nanometer is the smallest unit of measurement out of the given options.

Therefore, option (c) is correct.

Option (c) is given as “nanometer”.

Explanation of Solution

Justify reasons for the correct statement:

1 nanometer is equivalent to 1109 meter which is smaller than 1 decimeter, 1 millimeter, and 1 micrometer.

Hence, option (c) is correct.

Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “decimeter”.

1 decimeter is equivalent to 0.1mor101m. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (b) is given as “millimeter”.

1 millimeter is equivalent to 103m. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as “micrometer”.

1 micrometer is equivalent to 106m. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect.

Conclusion

Nanometer is the smallest unit of measurement as 1nm=109m. 1 decimeter equals to 0.1mor101m, 1 millimeter equals to 103m, and 1 micrometer equals to 106m
