Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between decameters and nanometers.
What is a decameter (dam)?
A decameter is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for decameter is dam. Commonly a decameter is referred to as a dekameter and then the symbol used is dkm instead of dam. There are 0.0000000001 decameters in a nanometer. The International spelling for this unit is decametre.
What is a nanometer (nm)?
A nanometer is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for nanometer is nm. There are 10,000,000,000 nanometers in a decameter. The International spelling for this unit is nanometre.
Conversion Formula
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from dam to nm is:
nm = dam x 10,000,000,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from decameters to nanometers (dam to nm).
Decameter to Nanometer Conversion Example
Task: Convert 53 decameters to nanometers (show work) Formula: dam x 10,000,000,000 = nm Calculations: 53 dam x 10,000,000,000 = 530,000,000,000 nm Result: 53 dam is equal to 530,000,000,000 nm
