What are Nanojoule and Megaelectron-volt

A nanojoule is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one billionth of a joule. Symbolized as 'nJ,' it represents a minuscule amount of energy typically used in microscopic or quantum scales. Nanojoules are important in fields where extremely low energy values are common, such as in particle physics or when describing the energy of photons in light.

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. One electron-volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained by an electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt. MeV is used to express the energies of particles due to its convenient size for these microscopic interactions.
