What is a femtowatt used to measure?

A femtowatt quantifies extremely small power levels, such as very low signals in radio astronomy and nanoscale electronic devices.

How is a hectojoule per second related to watts?

One hectojoule per second equals 100 watts because 1 joule per second is equivalent to 1 watt.

Why convert femtowatt to hectojoule/second?

Converting femtowatt to hectojoule/second helps compare ultra-low power measurements to more standard units used in electrical and laboratory applications.
