Conversion Formula
The formula to convert nanometers to feet is: ft = nm × 3.28084 × 10-9. This works because 1 nanometer is 3.28084 × 10-9 feet. For example, multiplying 425 nm by 3.28084 × 10-9 gives the length in feet: 425 × 3.28084 × 10-9 = 0.001394 ft.
Conversion Example
- Convert 500 nm to ft:
- Step 1: Write the formula: ft = nm × 3.28084 × 10-9
- Step 2: Substitute 500: 500 × 3.28084 × 10-9
- Step 3: Calculate: 500 × 3.28084 × 10-9 = 1.64042 × 10-6 ft
- Convert 1000 nm:
- Step 1: Use the formula again.
- Step 2: 1000 × 3.28084 × 10-9 = 3.28084 × 10-6 ft.
- Convert 250 nm:
- Step 1: Apply the same formula.
- Step 2: 250 × 3.28084 × 10-9 = 8.2021 × 10-7 ft.
