What does one dekagray per second represent?

One dekagray per second (daGy/s) represents an absorbed dose rate equal to 10 grays per second, quantifying how much ionizing radiation energy is deposited per kilogram each second.

Why convert dekagray per second to exagray per second?

Converting to exagray per second is useful for expressing absorbed dose rates at vastly different scales, especially in theoretical or astrophysical models with extremely large radiation levels.

Can this conversion be used for medical radiation measurements?

While the units apply to radiation dose rates, converting typical medical levels to exagray per second results in extremely small values, limiting practical use mostly to theoretical applications.
