(a) an astronomers infrared telescope is able to detect radiation with a wavelength of 7.68×10^(-6) meters. write this number in standard notation. (b) the diameter of uranus at its equator is approximately 51.100 kilometers. write this number in scientific notation.

Answer

Explicación:

Paso 1: Convertir notación científica a notación estándar (parte a)

Para convertir $7.68\times 10^{- 6}$ a notación estándar, movemos el decimal 6 lugares a la izquierda. $7.68\times 10^{-6}=0.00000768$

Paso 2: Convertir a notación científica (parte b)

Escribimos 51.100 en notación científica. Movemos el decimal 1 lugar a la izquierda para obtener un número entre 1 y 10, que es 5.1100. El exponente de 10 es 1. $51.100 = 5.11\times 10^{1}$

Respuesta:

(a) 0.00000768 (b) $5.11\times 10^{1}$
