What is a nanojoule used to measure?

A nanojoule measures very small energy amounts like pulse energy in lasers, energy in microelectronics, and small-scale calorimetry.

Why convert nanojoules to electron-volts?

Conversion helps express energy in atomic and subatomic scales, which are standard in physics, electronic materials, and photonics research.

Are the conversion values affected by environment?

Yes, the conversion assumes vacuum and fixed constants; real conditions might alter actual measured energies.
