Converting eV to J
In chapter 1 question 69, we are given the work function in eV, how do I convert that to Joules.

Re: Converting eV to J
Hello, I found 1 eV = 1.602176565e-19 J, so i believe you would multiply the amount of eVs they give to 1.602176565e-19 J

Re: Converting eV to J
As stated above, 1 eV = 1.60218 * 10^-19 J; however, sometimes eV will have the same prefixes that the metric system uses, so it's important to take that into account. For example 1 keV = 1000 eV, and then u can convert that to joules if necessary.

Re: Converting eV to J
Will we be expected to remember how many Joules are in an eV for Test 2, the midterm, and the final?
