rad/second to sievert/second
Please provide values below to convert rad/second [rd/s, rad/s] to sievert/second [Sv/s], or change ↔.
rad/second [rd/s, rad/s]
Definition: A non-SI unit of absorbed radiation dose rate equivalent to 0.01 gray per second.
Historyandorigin: The rad was used as the unit for absorbed radiation dose before being replaced by the gray in the SI system.
CurrentUse: Though no longer the standard in SI units, the rad is still encountered in some radiation protection contexts.
funfact: Rads were used for a long time before the adoption of the gray, and even today, the term 'rad' is still familiar in older literature!
sievert/second [Sv/s]
Definition: The SI unit of radiation dose equivalent, accounting for the biological effects of radiation.
Historyandorigin: Named after Rolf Sievert, this unit helps to assess the biological impact of radiation exposure on living organisms.
CurrentUse: Used in radiation protection to assess the risk of biological harm from different types of radiation.
funfact: Sievert is used for safety in medical radiation therapy, nuclear power, and space travel to monitor biological effects!

How to Convert rad/second to sievert/second
1 rad/second [rd/s, rad/s] = 0.01 sievert/second [Sv/s]
1 sievert/second [Sv/s] = 100 rad/second [rd/s, rad/s]
we use cross multiplication method
rad/second [rd/s, rad/s] → sievert/second [Sv/s]
1 → 0.01
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.01=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.015
