Best Answer

One MeV is one megaelectron volts or one million electron volts, and the MeV is a measure of energy. It is equal to 1.60217646 × 10-13 joules.

How many MeV's are in one electron volt?

one MeV has 1,000,000 eVs So one eV has 0.000001 MeVs


What is the muon's mass?

Muons decay by various methods, primarily, due to the weak interaction, into an electron and two neutrinos. The mass of the muon is 105.7 MeV/c2, with the mass of the electron being 0.511 MeV/c2, and the mass of the neutrino is less than 2.2 eV/c2. As a result, the loss of mass from muon decay, which is carried away as energy, is around 105.2 MeV/c2.


How much more energy does fission have than fusion?

This is one of those things where the answer depends on what you mean. The fusion of a deuterium atom and a tritium atom into a helium atom produces about 14.1 million electron volts (MeV). By comparison, the fission of a uranium atom produces about 202 MeV, making a fission event over 14 times as powerful as a fusion event. But we could looked at it another way. A uranium-238 atom as an atomic mass of about 238, and the 202 MeV come from that mass, providing a yield of about 0.82 MeV per unit mass. By contrast, the 14.1 MeV from one deuterium, with an atomic mass of about 2, and one tritium, with an atomic mass of about 3, so the yield is about 2.8 MeV per unit mass, which makes fusion over 3 times as powerful as fission per mass per event.

How many kWh can you produce from 200 MeV?

200 MeV is a tiny quantity, it may sound a lot but is actually about 3 x 10-11 Joules. The point is that in a large fission reactor there are billions of fissions occurring every second and each one releases 200 MeV. As 1 Joule = 1 Watt.sec, and 1 KWh = 3.6 x 106 Watt.secs, you can see that the question is rather unbalanced!

None.

As you can see in the equations above burning four ordinary atoms of hydrogen to ordinary helium is a complicated and slow process compared to burning two atoms of various isotopes of hydrogen, however a star has such tiny quantities of deuterium and tritium that depending on them for fusion helps little.

What fuses together to form helium?

Two hydrogen atoms fuse together to form one helium atom. During this process, tremendous amounts of energy are released, which is the source of energy in stars. This fusion reaction is known as nuclear fusion.
