rad to joule/gram
Please provide values below to convert rad [rd] to joule/gram [J/g], 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!
joule/gram [J/g]
Definition: A unit of radiation dose similar to joules per kilogram, but based on the gram as the unit of mass.
Historyandorigin: This unit is occasionally used for smaller amounts of material, as it measures the energy absorbed per gram of tissue or material.
CurrentUse: Rarely used in comparison to joules per kilogram, but can be seen in specific contexts requiring precision for smaller masses.
funfact: This unit provides a more convenient measure for studying radiation in small samples, like in laboratory environments!

How to Convert rad to joule/gram
1 rad [rd] = 0.00001 joule/gram [J/g]
1 joule/gram [J/g] = 100000 rad [rd]
we use cross multiplication method
rad [rd] → joule/gram [J/g]
1 → 0.00001
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.00001=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.000015
