Different lengths as in respect to the electromagnetic spectrum, measured by the metre and its derived scales.The microwave is between 1 meter to 1 millimeter.. The millimetre (international spelling; SI unit symbol mm) or millimeter (American spelling) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one thousandth of a metre, which is the SI base unit of length.
Popular scale for period ship plans — 1 inch = 3 feet. 1:35: 8.709 mm: Military models: The most popular scale for military vehicles and figures. Used heavily in models of armoured vehicles. It was originally conceived by Tamiya for convenience of fitting motorised parts and batteries. Corresponds well with 54mm figures. 1:34: 8.965 mm
[1] The Charrière is measured by the ''outer'' diameter, and is defined as 1 Fr = 1/3 mm, and thus 1 mm = 3 Fr; therefore the diameter of a round catheter in millimetres can be determined by dividing the French size by 3. [2] The French units roughly correspond to the outer circumference of the catheter (see table below).

As early as 1600, the sizes of these types—their "bodies" [1] —acquired traditional names in English, French, German, and Dutch, usually from their principal early uses. [2] These names were used relative to the others and their exact length would vary over time, from country to country, and from foundry to foundry.
One of the most common is 1 inch represents 5 feet. This specifies an exact scale of 1:60. That implies that a 28 mm tall figurine represents a 1.68 m (5 ft 6 in) person – which is a reasonable number for a modern 50th percentile male (See: Human height). Another popular scale is 1/72 or 1 inch equals 6 foot which uses 20 mm, to 25 mm miniatures.
