Rydberg to gigaelectronvolt converter (ry to gev)

Conversion Formula

1 ry = 1.36e-8 gev

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Rydberg = 2.18e-18 joules
   1 Gigaelectronvolt = 1.60e-10 joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 ry = (2.18e-18 J) / (1.60e-10 J/gev) = 1.36e-8 gev
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in ry by 1.36e-8 to get the equivalent in gev

Example Conversion

Convert 5 ry to gev:

5 ry × 1.36e-8 = 6.80e-8 gev
