Convert Megaelectronvolt to Electronvolt
Type the number of megaelectronvolts that you wish to convert to electronvolts.
How to Convert Megaelectronvolts to Electronvolts
The megaelectronvolt and electronvolt are both units of energy. By definition, 1 megaelectronvolt equals exactly 1000000 electronvolts. This means to convert megaelectronvolts to electronvolts, you multiply by 1000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 MeV to electronvolts:
We need to convert megaelectronvolts to electronvolts
Since 1 MeV = 1000000 eV, multiply by 1000000
5 × 1000000 = 5000000
5 MeV = 5000000 eV

About These Units
Megaelectronvolt (MeV)
A megaelectronvolt (MeV) equals 1 million electronvolts. MeV measures nuclear binding energies, particle accelerator energies, and gamma radiation. The electron rest mass energy is 0.511 MeV. Nuclear reactions release energies in the MeV range.
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.
