roentgen to rep
Please provide values below to convert roentgen [R] to rep, or change ↔.
roentgen [R]
Definition: A unit of radiation exposure, defined as the amount of radiation required to produce ionization in one cubic centimeter of air.
Historyandorigin: Named after Wilhelm Röntgen, who discovered X-rays, the roentgen was widely used to measure radiation exposure until the 1970s.
CurrentUse: While largely replaced by the SI unit 'coulomb per kilogram,' the roentgen is still used in some places and for specific applications in radiology.
funfact: The roentgen measures the ability of radiation to ionize air, but its use has decreased as more accurate measurements have been developed!
rep
Definition: The roentgen equivalent physical unit, used to measure the physical dose of ionizing radiation delivered to a material or tissue.
Historyandorigin: The 'rep' was an attempt to standardize the measurement of radiation dose based on its potential biological effect.
CurrentUse: No longer in widespread use today, but it was important in early radiation studies and has been largely replaced by the 'gray' in modern science.
funfact: The 'rep' was specifically designed to measure radiation's effect on living tissues, although the gray now serves that purpose more effectively!

How to Convert roentgen to rep
1 roentgen [R] = 1 rep
1 rep = 1 roentgen [R]
we use cross multiplication method
roentgen [R] → rep
1 → 1
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.5
