The given wavelength is 7.60 × 10^-10 m. To convert this to nanometers, we can multiply by 10^9 (since there are 10^9 nanometers in one meter), giving us 7.60 × 10^-1 nm. However, we typically write wavelengths in units of nm with a whole number and a decimal, so we need to move the decimal point one place to the right, giving us 0.760 nm. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
