Understanding the Conversion

The kiloelectronvolt (keV) is a unit of energy commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics. One kiloelectronvolt is equal to 1,000 electronvolts (eV). To convert from keV to joules (J), we use the following formula:

1 keV = 1.6022 × 10⁻¹⁶ joules

Common Applications

Kiloelectronvolts are frequently used in:

  • X-ray and gamma-ray energy measurements
  • Particle physics experiments
  • Nuclear medicine imaging
  • Electron microscopy
