Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does teragray per second (TGy/s) measure?
-
Teragray per second quantifies the rate of radiation energy absorbed per kilogram per second at an ultra-high magnitude, equal to 10^12 grays per second.
-
How is joule per kilogram per second related to gray per second?
-
Joule per kilogram per second is equivalent to gray per second since one gray equals one joule of absorbed radiation energy per kilogram.
-
Why is this conversion important in radiation research?
-
The conversion allows expressing extremely high absorbed dose rates in standard SI units to support precise radiation dose assessment, safety monitoring, and medical application planning.
