Answer

$1.00000\;\rm cm$

Work Step by Step

We know that the distance the mirror moved is given by $$\Delta L_2=\dfrac{\Delta m \lambda}{2}$$ Plugging the given; $$\Delta L_2=\dfrac{(33198) (602.446\times 10^{-9})}{2}=\color{red}{\bf 0.0100000}\;\rm m$$ These zeros are for the appropriate number of significant figures as the author asked.
