Prefixes
Prefixes are the preceding factor used to represent very small and very large physical quantities in SI units.
Conversion of prefixes
Prefixes to Normal Number
Example 1
The frequency of the radio wave is 350M Hz. What is the frequency of the radio wave in Hz?
Answer
Mega (M) = 1,000,000 or 106
Therefore,
350MHz = 350 x 106Hz
Example 2
The thickness of a film is 25nm. What is the thickness in unit meter?
Answer
nano (n) = 0.000000001 or 10-9
Therefore
25nm = 25 x 10-9m
Normal number to Prefixes
Example 3
0.255 s is equal to how many ms.Answer
mili (m) = 0.001 or 10-3
To write a normal number with prefixes, we divide the number with the value of the prefixes
0.0255 s = 0.0255 ÷ 10-3 = 25.5 ms
Example 4
Convert 265,500,000 W into GW.Answer
Gega (G) = 1,000,000,000 or 109
Therefore
265,500,000 W = 265,500,000 ÷ 109 = 0.2655GW

mcm mana nak hafal dgn lebih mudah?tiada cara k..?
Tak Gemar Minum Kopi Di Suruh Minum Milo Nak Pepsi.
awesome ! now i can read it on my laptop and have no worry about my bag being heavy :)
macam mana nak tukar dari prefixes to prefixes? Contohnya 6.71 mg to pg.
ubah ke asas dlu
from mg to g 1st then ubah balik ke pg
ex: 1st step
6.71 m g x ((1x 10^-3)/m) g
=6.71x10^-3g
2nd step
(6.71x10^-3g)x(1p/1x10^-12)g
=6.71x 10^9 pg
or trus buat
6.71mg x ((1x 10^-3)/m) g x
(1p/1x10^-12)g
potong2 n still get the same answer.. :)
tq very much! u make me reduce all my stress in my mind. this will help me a lot in my education. for the blogger.
time kasih...
dah paham daH...
great !!! love diz note..<3
okay. knapa kat exmple 1 tbe2 ada 250? where it comes from?
tak paham laa , camana nak dapat 250 dalam soalan first tuu ?
Hi all

you got the wrong prefix table, after kilo is kilo, hekto, deka, deci ....
kilo; 10^3
hekto; 10^2
deka; 10^-2
deci; 10^-3
centi; 10-6
brother deca ? 10 to the power of 1 ?
