Conversion Formula
The formula to convert nanometers to foot is: length in foot = length in nm × 3.28084 × 10-8. This works because 1 nm equals 3.28084 × 10-8 foot, so multiplying the nm value by this factor gives the length in feet. For example, 800 nm: 800 × 3.28084e-8 = 2.6257 foot.
Conversion Example
- Convert 1000 nm:
- Multiply 1000 by 3.28084e-8.
- 1000 × 3.28084e-8 = 0.0328 foot.
- Convert 500 nm:
- Multiply 500 by 3.28084e-8.
- 500 × 3.28084e-8 = 0.0164 foot.
- Convert 2000 nm:
- Multiply 2000 by 3.28084e-8.
- 2000 × 3.28084e-8 = 0.0656 foot.
- Convert 150 nm:
- Multiply 150 by 3.28084e-8.
- 150 × 3.28084e-8 = 0.0049 foot.
