gray to rad
Please provide values below to convert gray [Gy] to rad [rd], or change ↔.
gray [Gy]
Definition: The SI unit for measuring the absorbed radiation dose, representing the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of matter.
Historyandorigin: The gray replaced the rad in most scientific contexts to standardize radiation measurement internationally.
CurrentUse: The gray is the most widely used unit for radiation dose measurements in medicine, radiation protection, and scientific research.
funfact: The gray is a crucial unit in radiation therapy, ensuring the correct dosage of radiation is applied to cancer cells during treatment!
rad [rd]
Definition: A unit used to measure the absorbed dose of radiation, indicating the energy deposited per unit mass of tissue.
Historyandorigin: The rad (radiation absorbed dose) was introduced in the 1950s and was the standard unit for absorbed dose until the adoption of the gray (Gy).
CurrentUse: Though largely replaced by the gray, the rad is still occasionally used in certain contexts, especially in older literature.
funfact: One rad equals 0.01 gray (Gy), a unit now used more widely for measuring radiation exposure!

How to Convert gray to rad
1 gray [Gy] = 100 rad [rd]
1 rad [rd] = 0.01 gray [Gy]
we use cross multiplication method
gray [Gy] → rad [rd]
1 → 100
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*100=1*x
by simplifying
x=150
