ALL physical dimensions can be expressed in terms of combinations of seven ___________________________, which can be measured directly. __________________________ are combinations of 7 basic ones. SI ConversionsRecopy conversion chart below!5mL = ________ kL1st step: What do you expect? Will the number in front of kl be bigger or smaller than 5?2nd step: Take the given number and multiply it by conversion factors – a fractions where the top and bottom are equivalent – so that you can cross out the units you don’t want and put in the units you need. You will often need multiple steps. The wavelength of green light is 500 nm.
