    One billionth of a meter.

    A unit of length equal to one billionth of a meter (.000000001 meter).

    Is a unit of measurement of light wavelength. A nanometer is one millionth of a millimeter. Once called a millimicron, it is used to represent wavelength. Abbreviated nm.

    Equivalent to 0.039 micro-inches

    1 nanometer is equal to: Metric kilometer 1e-12 meter 1e-09 decimeter 1e-08 centimeter 1e-07 millimeter 1e-06 micrometre (micron) 0.001 angstrom 10

    Wavelenghts table for electromagnetic emission.

    dark light = low intensity

    bright light = high intensity

    molecule DNA etc. destructive UV ≈ 200nm (thank you ozonelayer thing;or else we all would grow extra limbs :P )

    UV = erazing for electronics ≈ 300nm

    light UV < 400nm

    violet = 405nm

    blue = 430nm

    deep blue = 450nm

    ...

    infrared ≈ 1000nm

    FM radio ≈ 1±0.5m


    ... well might someone explain where the fnord magenta is placed in the electromagnetic spectrum  ?!?? :/
