What are Megaelectron-volt and Watt-second

Definition of Megaelectron-volt

A Megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of particle physics. It is equivalent to one million electron-volts, where one 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 especially useful in describing the energy levels of particles in atomic and subatomic systems.

Definition of Watt-second

A Watt-second (Ws) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to the amount of energy expended when a power of one watt is sustained for one second. This unit is a measure of work done or energy transferred, and is commonly used in various fields of science and engineering to quantify energy in a readily understandable form.
