How to Convert mW/cm² to W/m²
To convert mW/cm² (milliwatts per square centimeter) to W/m² (watts per square meter), you need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert milliwatts (mW) to watts (W). 1 mW = 0.001 W
Step 2: Convert square centimeters (cm²) to square meters (m²). 1 cm² = 0.0001 m²
Step 3: Substitute the values in the original unit and perform the conversion. Let’s assume you want to convert 10 mW/cm² to W/m².
10 mW/cm² = (10 × 0.001 W) / (1 × 0.0001 m²) = 0.01 W / 0.0001 m² = 100 W/m²
Therefore, 10 mW/cm² is equal to 100 W/m².
In general, the conversion formula is:
W/m² = (mW/cm² × 0.001 W/mW) / (1 cm²/0.0001 m²) = mW/cm² × 10,000
So, to convert from mW/cm² to W/m², you need to multiply the value in mW/cm² by 10,000.
For example: 1 mW/cm² = 1 × 10,000 = 10,000 W/m² 5 mW/cm² = 5 × 10,000 = 50,000 W/m² 0.2 mW/cm² = 0.2 × 10,000 = 2,000 W/m²
This conversion is useful when working with units of irradiance or power density in different fields, such as optics, laser technology, or solar energy applications.
