What are Femtometer and Micrometer

Definition of Femtometer

A femtometer, also known as a fermi, is an incredibly small unit of length in the metric system, equivalent to one quadrillionth of a meter (1 fm = 10^-15 meters). This unit is commonly used in quantum physics and particle physics to measure atomic and subatomic distances, reflecting scales where the nucleus and particles within an atom are assessed.

Definition of Micrometer

A micrometer, symbolized as µm, is a unit of length that equals one millionth of a meter (1 µm = 10^-6 meters). It is a standard unit in the metric system used to measure small distances and lengths in scientific and engineering fields. Micrometers are often used for measuring the size of cells, bacteria, and microscopic components in materials science.

Conversion of Femtometer to Micrometer

1 fm = 0.000001 µm
1 µm = 1,000,000 fm

Example 1:
convert 5,000,000,000 fm to µm:
5,000,000,000 fm = 5,000,000,000 × 0.000001 µm = 5 µm

Example 2:
convert 750,000,000,000 fm to µm:
750,000,000,000 fm = 750,000,000,000 × 0.000001 µm = 750 µm

History of Femtometer and Micrometer
