- Convert 1000 nm to ft:
- Multiply 1000 by 3.28084e-9
- 1000 × 3.28084e-9 = 3.28084e-6 ft
- Convert 750 nm to ft:
- Multiply 750 by 3.28084e-9
- 750 × 3.28084e-9 = 2.46063e-6 ft
- Convert 850 nm to ft:
- Multiply 850 by 3.28084e-9
- 850 × 3.28084e-9 = 2.7887e-6 ft
- Convert 900 nm to ft:
- Multiply 900 by 3.28084e-9
- 900 × 3.28084e-9 = 2.95276e-6 ft
