What does femtowatt (fW) measure?

Femtowatt is an SI derived power unit representing extremely small rates of energy transfer per second, often used for very low-level signals in sensitive systems.

What is the unit megajoule per second (MJ/s) used for?

Megajoule per second quantifies large-scale power, equivalent to one megawatt, and is used in power plants, turbines, and industrial thermal systems.

Why convert femtowatt to megajoule per second?

Converting femtowatt to megajoule per second helps relate nanoscale or ultra-low-power readings to large industrial power measurements.
