What is radiation measured in?

Radiation is measured in units called Grays (Gy) because it represents the amount of energy absorbed by a material from ionizing radiation. The Gray is a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI) that quantifies the amount of radiation energy deposited per kilogram of material. It helps to assess the potential effects of radiation on living organisms or objects and is commonly used in medical radiation therapy, industrial safety, and radiation protection. By measuring radiation in Grays, professionals can evaluate potential risks and implement appropriate measures to minimize its harmful effects.
