I WONDER - How Is Nuclear Energy Measured?

The video explains how scientists use electron volts to measure energy from nuclear reactions. It uses an analogy of a teaspoon measuring sugar to illustrate the concept. Despite their small size, these units reveal the immense energy produced, akin to a tiny firecracker causing a large explosion, highlighting the power of nuclear energy.
