Units & Dimensions

The energy required to break one bond in DNA is 10-20 J. This value in eV is nearly:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. The energy is 10−20 J10^{-20}\text{ J} and 1 eV=1.6×10−19 J1\text{ eV} = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\text{ J}.
  2. E=10−201.6×10−19 eV=0.0625 eVE = \frac{10^{-20}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\text{ eV} = 0.0625\text{ eV}
  3. So the answer is (b) 0.060.06.
