 1 Amu's equivalent energy is 931MeV.

According to Einstein's formula, E=mc2
Where E is the energy, m is the mass, and c is the speed of light.

We know that, 1 amu=1.66×1027Kg

c=3×108 m/s

E=mc2

E=1.66×10-27×3×1082

E=14.94×10-11 J
 

converting Joules to eV

E=14.94×10-11 J1.6×10-19=931×106eV

E=931MeV
