What does joule per kilogram per second measure?

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

Why convert to microgray per second?

Microgray per second provides a finer scale useful for precise radiation monitoring and dose verification, especially for low-level dose rates.

Where is this conversion most commonly applied?

It is frequently used in medical radiotherapy, radiation protection at nuclear and industrial sites, environmental monitoring, and emergency radiological assessments.
