rad to joule/kilogram
Please provide values below to convert rad [rd] to joule/kilogram [J/kg], 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/kilogram [J/kg]
Definition: A unit of radiation dose that measures the energy absorbed by a unit mass of material, commonly used to describe the energy deposited in tissue.
Historyandorigin: Derived from the joule, a unit of energy, and kilogram, a unit of mass, this unit is used to represent absorbed energy per unit mass.
CurrentUse: Widely used in the SI system for radiation measurement, and the equivalent of the gray (Gy) in terms of energy absorption.
funfact: 1 joule per kilogram is equal to 1 gray, a unit used in many radiation science and health studies!

How to Convert rad to joule/kilogram
1 rad [rd] = 0.01 joule/kilogram [J/kg]
1 joule/kilogram [J/kg] = 100 rad [rd]
we use cross multiplication method
rad [rd] → joule/kilogram [J/kg]
1 → 0.01
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.01=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.015
