1 E-7 m
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 10-7 and 10-6 m (100 nm and 1 µm).
- Distances shorter than 100 nm
- 100 nm — greatest particle size that can fit through a surgical mask
- 120 nm — greatest particle size that can fit through a ULPA filter [1] (http://www.ristenbatt.com/filt_eff.htm)
- 125 nm — standard depth of pits on compact discs (width: 500 nm, length: 850 nm to 3.5 µm)
- 180 nm — typical length of the rabies virus
- 200 nm — typical size of a Mycoplasma bacterium, among the smallest bacteria
- 280 nm — near ultraviolet wavelength
- 300 nm — greatest particle size that can fit through a HEPA filter
- 380-420 nm — wavelength of violet light (see color and optical spectrum)
- 420-440 nm — wavelength of indigo light
- 440-500 nm — wavelength of blue light
- 500-520 nm — wavelength of cyan light
- 520-565 nm — wavelength of green light
- 565-590 nm — wavelength of yellow light
- 590-625 nm — wavelength of orange light
- 625-740 nm — wavelength of red light
- Distances longer than 1 µm
