Question

What is the value of 1 nano-second in second?
A. ${10^{ - 9}}$
B. ${10^{ - 6}}$
C. ${10^{ - 8}}$
D. ${10^{ - 10}}$

Answer 1

Hint- When the number one is followed by zeroes, it is converted into the power of ten. The different powers of ten are called differently.

Complete step by step answer:
${10^{ - 9}}$ is called a nano. Hence 1 nano-second value is equal to ${10^{ - 9}}s$. The correct option is option A.

Additional information:
(i)The nano means dwarf. The general conference on weights and measures (CGPM) officially accepted the prefix “nano” in 1960.
(ii)There are many fields now under the prefix nano such as nano technology, nano science etc. And these are emerging important fields now.
(iii)Kilogram is the only physical SI unit that has the prefix according to its value.
(iv)One nanosecond is the one thousand-millionth of a second.
(v)One nanometre is the length that a fingernail grows for a second.
(vi)Nano second is the fastest second. But the fastest second measured so far is yocto second. Yocto second is equal to ${10^{ - 24}}s$.
(vii)Nano science is the study of particles which are as small as ${10^{ - 9}}m$.
(viii)This nano second has its use in telecommunications, pulsed lasers and some areas in electronics.
(ix)Half-life, frequency is all in the prefix nano second.
(x)Nano second is a time the computer accesses the data in it. An action has a time period as equal to nano second has many applications in today’s modern world. The chips memory accessing capacity of nano seconds can be used in many devices.

Note: One nano-second is equal to the one thousand millionth of a second which is equal to ${10^{ - 9}}s$. Trillionth of a billionth of the seconds is known as Zeptosecond, one of the greatest time determination ever achieved.
