Electron Volts to Velocity Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Velocity (V) is:

\[ V = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot eV \cdot 1.602 \times 10^{-19}}{m}} \]

Where:

\( V \) is the velocity (m/s).
\( eV \) is the number of electron volts (eV).
\( m \) is the mass (kg).

Example

Let's say the electron volts (\( eV \)) is 10 eV and the mass (\( m \)) is 9.11e-31 kg (mass of an electron). Using the formula:

\[ V = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot 10 \cdot 1.602 \times 10^{-19}}{9.11 \times 10^{-31}}} \]

We get:

\[ V ≈ 1.87 \times 10^6 \text{ m/s} \]

So, the Velocity (\( V \)) is approximately 1.87 million meters per second.

What is Velocity?

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction. In this context, it refers to the speed of a particle given its energy in electron volts and its mass.
