What are Gray and Joule/gram

Definition of Gray

Gray, abbreviated as Gy, is a unit of absorbed radiation dose. Named after British physicist Louis Harold Gray, it measures the amount of radiation energy absorbed per unit mass of tissue. One Gray is equivalent to the absorption of one joule of radiation energy by one kilogram of matter. Gray is crucial in fields like radiology and radiation therapy, where precise dose measurement is vital for effective treatment and minimizing harm. Understanding Gray helps professionals ensure safe and accurate radiation use in medical procedures and research.

Definition of Joule/gram

Joule per gram (J/g) is a derived unit of energy concentration, signifying the amount of energy, in joules, absorbed per gram of a substance. This unit finds its relevance in various scientific fields, especially in understanding material properties and reactions. By defining energy absorption at a granulated scale, Joule per gram provides insights into the efficiency and intensity of energy interactions within materials. This measurement is crucial for applications like calorimetry, where precise energy absorption data is needed to analyze chemical reactions and physical processes.

Gray to Joule/gram Conversion Table

Gray (Gy) Joule/gram (J/g)
0.1 Gy 0.1 J/g
0.5 Gy 0.5 J/g
1 Gy 1 J/g
1.5 Gy 1.5 J/g
2 Gy 2 J/g
2.5 Gy 2.5 J/g
3 Gy 3 J/g
3.5 Gy 3.5 J/g
4 Gy 4 J/g
4.5 Gy 4.5 J/g

Conversion of Gray to Joule/gram

1 Gy = 1 J/g
1 J/g = 1 Gy

Example 1:
Convert 5 Gy to J/g:
5 Gy = 5 × 1 J/g = 5 J/g

Example 2:
Convert 3.5 Gy to J/g:
3.5 Gy = 3.5 × 1 J/g = 3.5 J/g

History of Gray and Joule/gram
