What does dekagray per second measure?

Dekagray per second quantifies the rate at which ionizing radiation energy is deposited in matter, representing absorbed dose rate.

How is watt per kilogram related to radiation dose rate?

Watt per kilogram expresses power absorbed per unit mass and is numerically equivalent to dose rate in grays per second for radiation contexts.

Why convert from daGy/s to W/kg?

Converting to W/kg helps assess energy deposition rates in tissues or materials more intuitively, used in safety, dosimetry, and engineering fields.
