The microwave is in-between 1 meter to 1 millimeter. A centimetre or centimeter (US/Philippine spelling), with SI symbol cm, is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one hundredth of a metre, centi being the SI prefix for a factor of 1 / 100 . [1] Equivalently, there are 100 centimetres in 1 metre.
The centimetre (SI symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −2 metres ( 1 / 100 m = 0.01 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 −2 m and 10 −1 m (1 cm and 1 dm).
Length (m): The length of the equator is close to 40 000 000 m (more precisely 40 075 014.2 m). [23] In fact, the dimensions of our planet were used by the French Academy in the original definition of the metre; [ 24 ] most dining tabletops are about 0.75 metres high; [ 25 ] a very tall human (basketball forward) is about 2 metres tall.
In firearm optics, where 0.1 mrad per click is the most common mrad based adjustment value, another common rule of thumb is that an adjustment of 1 / 10 mrad changes the impact as many centimeters as there are hundreds of meters. In other words, 1 cm at 100 meters, 2.25 cm at 225 meters, 0.5 cm at 50 meters, etc. See the table below
A centimetre of water [1] is a unit of pressure. It may be defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 cm in height at 4 °C (temperature of maximum density) at the standard acceleration of gravity, so that 1 cmH 2 O (4°C) = 999.9720 kg/m 3 × 9.80665 m/s 2 × 1 cm = 98.063754138 Pa ≈ 98.0638 Pa, but conventionally a nominal maximum water density of 1000 kg/m 3 is used, giving ...
Spatial frequency is a reciprocal length, which can thus be used as a measure of energy, usually of a particle. For example, the reciprocal centimetre, cm −1, is an energy unit equal to the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 1 cm. That energy amounts to approximately 1.24 × 10 −4 eV or 1.986 × 10 −23 J.

A metrestick divided into 1,000 mm and labeled with 100 cm. A metre-stick, metrestick (or meter-stick and meterstick as alternative spellings); [1] or yardstick [2] is either a straightedge or foldable ruler used to measure length, and is especially common in the construction industry.
