It depends on the resolution you choose:

At 72 dpi (dots per inch) you have a square of 28x28 pixels=784 pixels

Since a inch is 2,54 centimeters we could say that 72 dpi are the same as 28,35 dpc (dots per centimeter) but since pixels are the smallest unit we assume that 72dpi are the same as 28 dpc.

A pixel is not a fixed distance like a cm but is the smallest portion of a digital image such as a computer screen or digitally printed image which can be turned on or off and red, green or blue (cyan, magenta, yellow or black for printing).
For a computer screen the number of pixels is determined by the construction of the screen and for my obsolete laptop is 800 x 600 but for more modern machines there are more pixels giving a finer image, about 1200 x 1000.
For scanning, digital cameras and printing software allows the number of pixels in the image to be varied to suit required image quality and file size (more pixels = better image = larger file size, good for printing, bad for sending over web.)
For printing, scanning and photography number of pixels per cm will therefore depend on size of image and selected resolution.

It completely depends on the computer screen resolution. Computer resolutions are (sometimes) measured in DPI, which stands for dots per inch; given the DPI you could calculate the answer, but as I said, it could be anything.

As the others have said, it depends on the resolution of your screen/ camera/ whatever! Further info would be required to help work that out, I'm afraid.
Sorry!

Sometimes hundreds sometimes thousands depends on the quality
