Barleycorn (bc). The barleycorn is one third of an inch (about 8.47 mm), historically the length of a grain of barley.
Nanometer (nm). A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, used for wavelengths of light and the size of molecules.
There are 8,466,700 nanometers in one barleycorn.
Multiply the number of barleycorns by 8,466,700. For example, 10 barleycorns equal 84,667,000 nanometers.
One nanometer equals 1.1811 × 10⁻⁷ barleycorns.
101,600,400 nanometers. Other common values: 5 barleycorns = 42,333,500 nanometers and 100 barleycorns = 846,670,000 nanometers.
