What kind of distances are measured in millimeters?
Usually small distances. You may get rainfall measured in mm.
How is gunpowder measured?
Gunpowder is usually measured in grain weight. 7,000 grains = 1 pound
What wavelengths correspond to the color spectrum?
Roughly, the spectrum wavelengths are the speed of light divided by the frequency, c/f; 300M/400T=.75 micrometers for Red and 300M/800T=.375 micrometers for Violet..These wavelengths are expressed usually as 750 nanometers and 375 Nanometers.

What objects can be measured in centimeters?
Usually anything that you would normally measure in inches or feet
What is the unit of measurement for measuring cells and what is its symbol?
Cells are usually measured in microns (1 micron = 0.000001 meters, or 0.001 millimeters). Subcellular structures might be measured in microns or nanometers (1 nanometer (nm) = 0.000000001 meters).Its symbol is: µ
