About the units
Watt per square meter (W/m²)
The watt per square meter (W/m²) is a unit of sound intensity level in the International System of Units (SI).
Microwatt per square centimeter (µW/cm²)
The microwatt per square centimeter (µW/cm²) is a unit of sound intensity level in the International System of Units (SI). One microwatt per square centimeter equals 0.01 watts per square meter (W/m²).
Frequently asked questions
How many microwatts per square centimeter are in one watt per square meter?
There are 100 microwatts per square centimeter in one watt per square meter, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert watts per square meter to microwatts per square centimeter?
Multiply the number of watts per square meter by 100. For example, 10 W/m² × 100 = 1,000 µW/cm².
How many watts per square meter are in one microwatt per square centimeter?
One microwatt per square centimeter equals 0.01 watts per square meter. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 100.
What is 10 watts per square meter in microwatts per square centimeter?
10 W/m² = 1,000 µW/cm².
Is this W/m² to µW/cm² 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.
