What is a microjoule?

A microjoule is one millionth of a joule and measures very small amounts of energy, often in electrical, optical, or mechanical systems.

What does one megaelectron-volt represent?

One megaelectron-volt equals one million electronvolts and is used to describe energies at atomic and subatomic scales.

Why convert microjoules to megaelectron-volts?

Converting from microjoules to megaelectron-volts helps compare macroscopic energy measurements with energies used in particle physics and nuclear science.
