What is a micron?

  1. 0.00001 mm

  2. 0.001 mm

  3. 0.01 mm

  4. 0.0001 mm

The correct answer is: 0.001 mm

A micron, also known as a micrometer, is defined as one millionth of a meter or 1 x 10^-6 meters. To understand it in millimeters, 1 micron equals 0.001 mm. Therefore, the option representing 0.001 mm accurately reflects the measurement of a micron. In contexts such as microbiology or materials science, understanding the size of a micron is crucial, as it is used to describe very small distances, such as the scale of microorganisms or the thickness of materials.
