Response:

Wavelength, $3.75\times 10^{-5}\ centimeter$

Detailed explanation:

A dermatology patient receiving ultraviolet treatment with a wavelength of 375 nm requires conversion to centimeters.

To begin, relevant conversions must be applied:

$1\ nanometer=10^{-7}\ centimeter$

To convert 375 nm into cm, the unitary method can be applied as follows:

$375\ nanometer=375\times 10^{-7}\ centimeter$

$375\ nanometer=3.75\times 10^{-5}\ centimeter$

Thus, the wavelength of ultraviolet light is $3.75\times 10^{-5}\ centimeter$ . This is the sought-after resolution.

1 nanometer = 1 * 10^9 meters

therefore, 1 nanometer = 1 * 10^7 centimeters

375 nanometers = 3.75 * 10^5 centimeters
