Converting electron volts?

Postby Chiemeka Ochi 4A » Mon Jul 08, 2019 6:41 pm

Can someone explain how to convert from electronvolts to joules?
Example 1B.3 is still a little confusing (step b)

If you take a look the "Constants and Equations" sheet (on Dr. Lavelle's Class Website and also on the front cover of each Test/Exam),
1 eV = 1.602 × 10-19 J.

If you look at the constants and equations sheet, you can see the convertion factor from eV (volts) to J whcih is for 1 eV there are 1.602x10^-19 J
