Therefore, there are one thousand millimetres in a metre. There are ten millimetres in a centimetre. One millimetre is equal to {{val|1000}} micrometres or {{val|1,000,000}} nanometres. A millimetre is equal to exactly {{frac|5|127}} (approximately 0.039370) of an inch. DefinitionSince 1983, the metre has been defined as "the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of {{sfrac|{{val|299,792,458}}}} of a second".[1] A millimetre, {{sfrac|1000}} of a metre, is therefore the distance travelled by light in {{sfrac|{{val|299,792,458,000}}}} of a second. Informal TerminologyA common shortening of millimetre in spoken English is "mil". This can cause confusion since in the United States, "mil" traditionally means a thousandth of an inch. Unicode symbolsFor the purposes of compatibility with Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) characters, Unicode has symbols for:
In Japanese typography, these square symbols were historically used for laying out unit symbols without distorting the grid layout of text characters. MeasurementOn a metric ruler, the smallest measurements are normally millimetres.[3] High-quality engineering rules may be graduated in increments of 0.5 mm. Digital callipers are commonly capable of reading increments as small as 0.01 mm.[4] Microwaves with a frequency of 300 GHz have a wavelength of 1 mm. Using wavelengths between 30 GHz and 300 GHz for data transmission, in contrast to the 300 MHz to 3 GHz normally used in mobile devices, has the potential to allow data transfer rates of 10 gigabits per second.[5]The smallest distances the human eye can resolve is around 0.02 to 0.04 mm, approximately the width of a human hair.[6] A sheet of paper is typically between 0.07 mm and 0.18 mm thick, with ordinary printer paper or copy paper approximately a tenth of a millimetre thick.[7] See also{{Wiktionary|millimetre}}
