What does joule/centigram (J/cg) measure?

Joule per centigram quantifies absorbed radiation dose as energy deposited (joules) per 0.01 gram of mass, representing an energy-per-mass quantity.

When is the exagray (EGy) unit used?

Exagray expresses extraordinarily large absorbed doses, mostly in theoretical scientific contexts, such as astrophysics or high-energy physics research.

What is the exact conversion rate from J/cg to EGy?

1 joule/centigram equals 1e-13 exagray, allowing conversion of absorbed doses between these units.
