Discover the ease of converting kiloelectron-volts to microjoules with our precise keV to uJ tool, crafted by Newtum to simplify your calculations.

What are Kiloelectron-volt and Microjoule

A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts (eV). It is commonly used in the fields of physics and chemistry to describe the energy of particles such as electrons and photons. One kiloelectron-volt is equivalent to 1.60218 x 10^-16 joules. This unit is particularly useful in the study of atomic and subatomic processes where energy levels are in the electron-volt range.

A microjoule (uJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) that equals one millionth of a joule (1 uJ = 10^-6 J). It is commonly used to measure small quantities of energy, particularly in contexts such as laser physics, acoustics, and in the study of molecular and atomic energy levels. The microjoule is useful in applications where precise measurement of low energy levels is required.
