Correct Answer: WQ




Resolution is the microscope’s ability to distinguish two points as separate enti

3. True or False: A nanometer (10⁻⁹) is longer than a micrometer (10⁻⁶).
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




Answer choices: WQ




True
False


Correct Answer: False WQ WQ

, Expert Rationale: WQ




A nanometer is 1,000 times smaller than a micrometer, because 10⁻⁹ < 10⁻⁶. This
