Odd... there wasn't a link when I first checked this.... meh
Tev - Tera-ElectronVolt
Let me see, you have:
- kilo = 10^3
- Mega = 10^6
- Giga = 10^9
- Tera = 10^12

T stands for Tera, i.e. American trillion or 10^12

eV means electronVolt and is a tiny measure of energy, it's the energy you get if a single electron flows through a circuit with one Volt . The photons in visible (green) light have roughly 4 eV which is why you can nicely power LEDs with that kind of voltage
"Radioactive" radiation typically has millions of eVs per gamma photon, and the protons in the LHC have 6.5 trillion eVs. So that's a lot.

Stop pinching all my greek words! Use some Spanish or German words or something! The electron is now the "gesundheit" and the proton is the "tostador"

uh?
The bandgap on silicon that allows the capture of visible light photons is of the order of 2eV - Visible light is around 1~2eV.
4eV is already UV.

[Image: 27030-004-293E0372.jpg]

40eV ~ 400 keVs is X-rays - quite a broad range, so you can do lots of stuff with different x-rays.
100keV+ is gamma-rays.

Finally, something I know a bit about! Tongue

I think it's food.
But lunch is coming up, so I may be biased.

Doh, 2.4, not 4. See, it is good that you guys are paying attention!

I invented it due to public demand for less greek. The literal translation is Kablaammakingforcehittingunits
