Megaelectronvolt to megaton of TNT converter (mev to mttnt)

Conversion Formula

1 mev = 3.83e-29 mttnt

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Megaelectronvolt = 1.60e-13 joules
   1 Megaton of TNT = 4.18P joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mev = (1.60e-13 J) / (4.18P J/mttnt) = 3.83e-29 mttnt
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mev by 3.83e-29 to get the equivalent in mttnt

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mev to mttnt:

5 mev × 3.83e-29 = 1.91e-28 mttnt
