What does joule per kilogram per second measure?

It measures the rate at which ionizing radiation energy is absorbed by matter per unit mass, representing an absorbed dose rate.

How is decigray per second related to gray per second?

Decigray per second is one-tenth of a gray per second, with 1 dGy/s equal to 0.1 J·kg⁻¹·s⁻¹.

Why convert joule/kilogram/second to decigray/second?

Converting allows expressing absorbed dose rates in finer units for precise calibration and measurement in medical and research environments.
