What are Megaelectron-volt and Millijoule

Definition of Megaelectron-volt

A Megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in particle physics. It's equivalent to one million electron volts. Each electron volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt. This unit is particularly useful in high-energy physics, where particles are accelerated to high speeds and their interactions are measured in MeV.

Definition of Millijoule

A Millijoule (mJ) is a metric unit of energy that is equal to one-thousandth of a Joule, the SI unit of energy. A Joule is the energy transferred when a force of one newton acts over a distance of one meter. Therefore, a millijoule is a small measure of energy that can be used to quantify the work done, heat transferred, or energy consumed in various scientific and engineering contexts.
