Megaelectronvolt to erg converter (mev to erg)

Conversion Formula

1 mev = 1.60e-6 erg

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Megaelectronvolt = 1.60e-13 joules
   1 Erg = 1.00e-7 joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mev = (1.60e-13 J) / (1.00e-7 J/erg) = 1.60e-6 erg
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mev by 1.60e-6 to get the equivalent in erg

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mev to erg:

5 mev × 1.60e-6 = 8.01e-6 erg
