Answer: [tex]1.4\times 10^{-6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The wavelength of light is 0.0000014 inches
Here, seven digits are followed by a decimal point
To convert it to scientific notation, convert it into a fraction i.e.
[tex]=0.0000014=\dfrac{14}{10,000,000}[/tex]
In the denominator, there are 7 zeroes
[tex]\therefore 0.0000014=\dfrac{14}{10^7}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.0000014=14\times 10^{-7}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.0000014=1.4\times 10^{-6}[/tex]
