What are Decimeter and Femtometer

Definition of Decimeter

A decimeter (dm) is a metric unit of length equal to one-tenth of a meter. It is a commonly used unit for measuring short distances and objects. The decimeter offers a convenient scale for dimensions that fall between the more common units of centimeters and meters, making it ideal for use in various fields such as meteorology, geology, and everyday measurements.

Definition of Femtometer

A femtometer (fm) is an incredibly small unit of length in the metric system, equivalent to one quadrillionth of a meter (10^-15 meters). It is commonly used in nuclear physics to measure the size of atomic nuclei and the distances between particles within an atom. The femtometer is essential for understanding and quantifying the subatomic world, where traditional units of measurement like meters and centimeters are impractically large.

0.7 dm 7e+14 fm
0.8 dm 8e+14 fm
0.9 dm 9e+14 fm
1 dm 1e+15 fm

Conversion of Decimeter to Femtometer

1 dm = 1e+14 fm
1 fm = 1e-14 dm

Example 1:
convert 2 dm to fm:
2 dm = 2 × 1e+14 fm = 2e+14 fm

Example 2:
convert 5 dm to fm:
5 dm = 5 × 1e+14 fm = 5e+14 fm
