What does 1 hectogray represent in grays?

One hectogray equals 100 grays, where one gray is the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per kilogram of material.

Why convert hectogray to joule per milligram?

Converting allows expressing absorbed dose values for very small sample masses, facilitating precise radiation energy measurements at the milligram scale.

What should I watch for when using this conversion?

Be mindful of assumptions about uniform energy absorption and ensure the sample mass is accurately measured to avoid errors.
