The number of significant figures in the measurement of a length 0.079000 m is:
The number of significant figures in the measurement of a length 0.079000 m is:
7
2
5
4
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is: (C) : 5
The number of significant figures in the measurement 0.079000 m is 5 because all the digits from left to right are considered significant, and the trailing zeros after the decimal point also count as significant figures when they are a part of a measured value with a decimal point.

Units and Measurement
Unit:
A unit of a physical quantity is an arbitrarily chosen standard that is broadly acknowledged by the society and in terms of which other quantities of similar nature may be measured.
Measurement:
The process of measurement is basically a comparison process. To measure a physical quantity, we have to find out how many times a standard amount of that physical quantity is present in the quantity being measured. The number thus obtained is known as the magnitude and the standard chosen is called the unit of the physical quantity.

Types of Units:
Fundamental Units -
The units defined for the fundamental quantities are called fundamental units.
Derived Units -
The units of all other physical quantities which are derived from the fundamental units are called the derived units.
