1 E-7 M

To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 10^-7 and 10^-6 m (100 nm and 1 µm).
'Distances shorter than 100 nm'

★ 100 nm — greatest particle size that can fit through a surgical mask

★ 120 nm — greatest 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)

★ 180 nm — typical length of the rabies virus

★ 200 nm — typical size of a ''Mycoplasma'' bacterium, among the smallest bacteria

★ 280 nm — near ultraviolet wavelength

★ 300 nm — greatest particle size that can fit through a HEPA filter

★ 380-420 nm — wavelength of violet light (see color and optical spectrum)

★ 420-440 nm — wavelength of indigo light

★ 440-500 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
