Einstein's theory of special relativity states that mass and energy are interchangeable. The formula E=mc² quantifies this relationship, where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light. To calculate the energy, we need to convert grams to kilograms and then use the value of c, and finally convert Joules to MeV.
As per Einsteins theory, energy equivalent of 1 gm (One gram) substance will be :
