rad to megagray
Please provide values below to convert rad [rd] to megagray [MGy], 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!
megagray [MGy]
Definition: A unit of radiation dose equal to 10^6 grays.
Historyandorigin: The megagray is used to represent a substantial amount of radiation, typically in large-scale industrial or nuclear settings.
CurrentUse: Applied in the study of nuclear reactors, radiation sterilization, and other high-radiation environments.
funfact: Megagrays are used to measure high radiation doses in contexts like nuclear safety and sterilization!

How to Convert rad to megagray
1 rad [rd] = 1.E-8 megagray [MGy]
1 megagray [MGy] = 100000000 rad [rd]
we use cross multiplication method
rad [rd] → megagray [MGy]
1 → 1.E-8
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.E-8=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.5E-8
