Electronvolt (eV)

An electronvolt (eV) is the energy gained by an electron accelerated through 1 volt potential difference, equal to 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ joules. Electronvolts measure atomic and molecular energies, photon energy (visible light: 1.6-3.3 eV), and particle physics. X-rays range from 100 eV to 100 keV.
