Answer:

1.4 * 10^(-8}

Step-by-step explanation:

A number in scientific notation is of the form a * 10ᵇ

where a is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10. The value of b is the number of places the decimal point must be moved to convert the number from standard form to scientific notation. If the decimal point is moved to the right, then b<0, and if the decimal point is moved to the left, then b>0.

For 0.000000001, the decimal point must be moved 9 places to the right to convert it to scientific notation. Therefore 0.000000001=1\times10^{-9}

. 1 nanometer is then 1*10^{-9}

m so 14 nanometers is 14 * 10^{-9} m.

Since 14 is greater than 10, then 14*10^{-9} is not in scientific notation.

Since 14=1.4*10, then,

14×10^{−9} =1.4×10×10^{−9}

=1.4×10^{1+(−9)}

=1.4×10^{−8}
