Is it possible to send waves to the moon from Earth?
A) No, because there is no medium of any kind between the earth and moon. B) No, because there is no air between the earth and moon. C) Yes, we could conceivably send a sufficiently loud sound wave.

An electron-volt is the energy required to move an electron through a potential difference of one volt. Because of the connection between mass and energy, an electron-volt can also be regarded as a unit of mass
What is the equivalent to an electron-volt in kilograms? The charge on an electron is 1.602 × 10-19 C.
