Kiloelectronvolt to megaelectronvolt converter (kev to mev)

Conversion Formula

1 kev = 1.00e-3 mev

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kiloelectronvolt = 1.60e-16 joules
   1 Megaelectronvolt = 1.60e-13 joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kev = (1.60e-16 J) / (1.60e-13 J/mev) = 1.00e-3 mev
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kev by 1.00e-3 to get the equivalent in mev

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kev to mev:

5 kev × 1.00e-3 = 0.005000 mev
