You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Expressed in units, you have
\n" ); document.write( "millimicrons/wavelength = (meters/wavelength)(millimicrons/meter)
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"m\" = millimicrons/wavelength
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+%285.89%2A10%5E%28-7%29%29%281%2A10%5E%28-9%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+58.9%2A10%5E%28-16%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "In scientific notation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+5.89%2A10%5E%28-15%29\" answer
