How to convert microwatts per square centimeter to watts per square meter
W/m² = µW/cm² × 0.01Multiply the value in microwatts per square centimeter by 0.01. To go the other way, multiply by 100 (or divide by 0.01).
A microwatt per square centimeter is smaller than a watt per square meter: it takes 100 microwatts per square centimeter to make one watt per square meter.

Frequently asked questions
How many watts per square meter are in one microwatt per square centimeter?
There are 0.01 watts per square meter in one microwatt per square centimeter, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert microwatts per square centimeter to watts per square meter?
Multiply the number of microwatts per square centimeter by 0.01. For example, 10 µW/cm² × 0.01 = 0.1 W/m².
How many microwatts per square centimeter are in one watt per square meter?
One watt per square meter equals 100 microwatts per square centimeter. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.01.
What is 10 microwatts per square centimeter in watts per square meter?
10 µW/cm² = 0.1 W/m².
Is this µW/cm² to W/m² converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
