What are Megaelectron-volt and Attojoule
Definition of Megaelectron-volt
A Megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of particle physics. It's equivalent to one million electron volts. As an electron volt represents the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron accelerating through an electric potential difference of one volt, a Megaelectron-volt is a substantial amount of energy for particles at the atomic or subatomic level.
Definition of Attojoule
An Attojoule (aJ) is an extremely small unit of energy in the metric system, equivalent to 10^-18 joules. The prefix 'atto' signifies its minuscule magnitude, making it a useful unit in the realms of molecular and atomic sciences where interactions often involve very low amounts of energy that necessitate such precise measurement.
