ConvertingamongdifferentlengthunitsExample1: Youhavemeasuredthedimensionsofanatomicforcemicroscopesiliconprobetobearectangle35nanometersby1cm alongstripofsiliconthewidthofasiliconwafer.Thefabricationoftheproberequiresthatyouuselithographyofasiliconwafertocuttheseprobesfromthelargermaterial.HowmanyAFMprobescanyoumakefroma1cmsquarepieceofsilicon?
Example2: Ifyoucouldlaycarbonnanotubessidebyside,inasinglelayer,ontopofa4cmpostitnote,howmanywouldfit?CNTaretubes1nminwidthwithlengthsuptoamillimeterormore.Assumeherethattheyarestraight(whichtheywouldnotbeinreality)
