What does femtogray per second measure?

Femtogray per second quantifies very small absorbed radiation dose rates, indicating how much ionizing radiation energy is deposited per kilogram of material every second.

Why convert femtogray per second to megagray per second?

Conversion helps compare or integrate data across ultra-low to extremely high radiation dose rates used in different scientific and engineering fields.

Are there challenges in converting between these units?

Yes, because the conversion spans a scale difference of 10^27, numerical values can be extremely small or large, posing computational and measurement challenges.
