4.97 x 10 ^-6? (4970000)?
That's what I keep getting, but my online homework said that it was incorrect... What's the answer?

I believe you have your sign wrong. You have 0.00497 meter, which is 4.97 mm.
One nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, or 10**-9 meter, so there are 10**6
or 1 million nanometers in a millimeter. You have 4.97 millimeters, so that is
4.97 times 10**6 nanometers (Your figure of 4970000 is correct, but your power
of 10 should be 10 to the +6, not 10 to the -6.)
In exponential notation, there are 4.97 * 10**+6 nanometers in .00497 meter.

There are 10^9 nm in a meter. You are given here 4.97 * 10 ^ -3 m. Multiply by 10^9.
The answer is 4.97 * 10 ^6
Your answer had -6, not 6, as the exponent.
