What are Megaelectron-volt and Calorie

Definition of Megaelectron-volt

A Megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in particle physics, representing one million electron volts. It's equivalent to the amount of kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron when it moves across an electric potential difference of one million volts.

Definition of Calorie

A calorie (cal) is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. It's often used in nutrition to quantify the energy content in food.
