MeV and eV are units of energy used in the field of physics to quantify the energy of particles and radiation on the atomic and subatomic scale. Here’s what each of these units represents:
MeV (Mega-electronvolt)
This is a unit of energy commonly used in nuclear and particle physics to describe the energy of particles and the radiation they emit. One Mega-electronvolt is equal to one million electronvolts (1 MeV = 1,000,000 eV). MeV is often used to describe the energy of particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons, as well as the energy released in nuclear reactions and decay processes.
eV (Electronvolt)
This is the fundamental unit of energy used to describe the energy of individual particles in atomic and subatomic physics. One electronvolt is the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by an electron when it is accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt.
It’s a very small unit of energy, and it’s often used to describe the energy levels of electrons within atoms or the energy of photons (particles of light). The energy of atomic and molecular processes is typically measured in electronvolts.
How to convert MeV to eV
1MeV = 1000000eV
Conversion formula
E(eV) = E(MeV) × 1000000
Example – Convert 5 MeV to eV
Ans. E(eV) = 5MeV × 1000000 = 5000000eV
