What does joule/kilogram/second measure in radiation?

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

Why use femtogray per second for dose rates?

Femtogray per second quantifies extremely small absorbed dose rates, useful in contexts requiring detection of ultra-low radiation levels.

Where is this conversion commonly applied?

It is used in radiotherapy calibration, environmental radiation monitoring, radiation biology research, emergency assessments, and instrumentation calibration.
