Explore the seamless conversion of thermal calories to megaelectron-volts with our precise cal to MeV tool, designed to satisfy your scientific and educational needs.
A calorie (symbol: cal), specifically a 'thermochemical calorie', is a unit of energy. It is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. The calorie is commonly used in various fields, including chemistry, biology, and nutrition, to quantify energy in food and the energy expenditure of organisms.
Definition of Megaelectron-voltA megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of particle physics. It represents one million electron volts (1 MeV = 10^6 eV). An electron volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt. MeV is a particularly useful unit when discussing the energy of subatomic particles and their interactions.
| Calorie th (cal) | Megaelectron-volt (MeV) |
|---|---|
| 1 cal | 3.8293e+13 MeV |
| 10 cal | 3.8293e+14 MeV |
| 50 cal | 1.91465e+15 MeV |
| 100 cal | 3.8293e+15 MeV |
| 200 cal | 7.6586e+15 MeV |
| 500 cal | 1.91465e+16 MeV |
| 1000 cal | 3.8293e+16 MeV |
| 5000 cal | 1.91465e+17 MeV |
| 10000 cal | 3.8293e+17 MeV |
| 50000 cal | 1.91465e+18 MeV |
1 cal = 3.8293e+13 MeV
1 MeV = 2.6114e-14 cal
Example 1:
convert 5 cal to MeV:
5 cal = 5 × 3.8293e+13 MeV = 1.91465e+14 MeV
Example 2:
convert 10 cal to MeV:
10 cal = 10 × 3.8293e+13 MeV = 3.8293e+14 MeV
The Calorie th to Megaelectron-volt Converter traces its origins to the need for translating units of energy from the realm of nutrition and chemistry (calorie) to that of particle physics (megaelectron-volt). This conversion tool signifies the interdisciplinary nature of modern science, allowing for a better understanding of energy equivalences across different scientific domains.
Discover how the Calorie th to Megaelectron-volt Converter applies to real-life scenarios, bridging the gap between nutrition and high-energy physics.
Example 1:
To convert 15 cal to MeV:
15 cal = 15 × 3.8293e+13 MeV = 5.74395e+14 MeV
Example 2:
To convert 250 cal to MeV:
250 cal = 250 × 3.8293e+13 MeV = 9.57325e+15 MeV
