Megaelectronvolts (MeV)
Definition
A megaelectronvolt (MeV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000,000 electronvolts, or approximately 1.602 × 10⁻¹³ joules.
History
The MeV became essential with the development of nuclear physics and particle accelerators in the mid-20th century, particularly for describing nuclear binding energies and particle collision energies.
Current use
MeV are the standard unit for nuclear reaction energies, gamma-ray spectroscopy, radiation therapy dosimetry, and high-energy particle physics experiments.
Electronvolts (eV)
Definition
An electronvolt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt. It equals approximately 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ joules.
History
The electronvolt emerged in the early 20th century with the development of particle physics and quantum mechanics. It provided a practical unit for describing atomic and subatomic energy scales.
Current use
Electronvolts are the standard unit in particle physics, nuclear physics, semiconductor physics, and quantum chemistry for expressing binding energies, photon energies, and particle masses.
