1 E-7 m

To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 100 nm and 1 µm (10^-7 and 10^-6 m). See also lengths of other orders of magnitude.

• Distances shorter than 100 nm
• 100 nm -- side of square of area 10^-14 m²
• 100 nm -- Maximum particle size that can fit through a surgical mask
• 120 nm -- Maximum particle size that can fit through a ULPA filter
• 125 nm -- Standard depth of pits on compact discs (width: 500 nm, length: 850 nm to 3.5 μm)
• 280 nm -- near ultraviolet wavelength
• 300 nm -- Maximum particle size that can fit through a HEPA filter
• 380-430 nm -- wavelength of violet light -- see color and optical spectrum
• 430-450 nm -- wavelength of indigo light
• 450-500 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
