Energy Unit of keV
In homework problem 1.23, the energy is in the unit of keV. I wonder what is its relation to joules and how often do we use it.

Re: Energy Unit of keV
Hi,
keV stands for kilo electronvolts, so you want to convert that to just electronvolts before using the conversion factor for Joules which is 1 eV/ 1.60218 * 10^-19 J. I'm not sure how often we will use keV but I'm pretty sure the conversion is given on our equations and constants sheet for tests. Hope that helps!
