rad to hectogray
Please provide values below to convert rad [rd] to hectogray [hGy], or change ↔.
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!
hectogray [hGy]
Definition: A unit of radiation dose equal to 100 grays.
Historyandorigin: The hectogray is a less common unit, used for specific measurements in large radiation dose environments.
CurrentUse: Occasionally used in heavy industrial settings or large-scale radiation treatments.
funfact: The hectogray is larger than a kilogray and used in highly intense radiation exposure measurements!

How to Convert rad to hectogray
1 rad [rd] = 0.0001 hectogray [hGy]
1 hectogray [hGy] = 10000 rad [rd]
we use cross multiplication method
rad [rd] → hectogray [hGy]
1 → 0.0001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.0001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.00015
