A rad is a unit of absorbed radiation dose, but it is not commonly used anymore. The International System of Units now uses the gray (Gy) as the standard unit for absorbed radiation dose. 1 rad is equal to 0.01 gray.
Radiation absorbed dose (rad) is a unit used to quantify the amount of energy absorbed from ionizing radiation by a material or tissue. It is defined as the energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass of the absorbing material.
There are 1000 milliradians (mrad) in one radian (rad).
Too much radiation exposure can cause various health issues, including burns, radiation sickness, cancer, and potentially death. The severity of the effects depends on the level of exposure and duration. It is important to minimize exposure to radiation to avoid these risks.
Clouds can reduce UV radiation by up to 80, depending on their thickness and coverage.
Infrared radiation is of a much lower frequency (and a longer wavelength) than X-rays.
RAD's
its a rad.
Rad Physics is physics applied to radiation
The unit that measures radiation damage to human tissue is the Sievert (Sv). It takes into account the type of radiation, the amount of radiation absorbed, and the sensitivity of the tissue being exposed.
You can take Rad away (which will lower your radiation) you can take Rad-x (which will prevent you from getting radiated but 25%) or you can see a doctor to heal your self

Radiation is dangerous ... Too much kills but even small amounts may eventually cause cancer. Radiation levels decrease as does gravity with the square of the distance from the source. At twice the distance, the rad level becomes 1/4 th as much.
The Rad is a unit of ionizing radiation, measuring its energy distribution in air. A Rontgen is similar, but it measures the energy absorbed by an object. A REM is a Rontgen Equivalent Man, so it measures the energy absorbed by a human being.
After 1000 rads you will die. To prevent this use Rad-X in irradiated areas to lower the rads you get per second, and use Rad-Away if your radiation level goes to high, you can also seek out a doctor that can remove the radiation for you for 100-150 caps if you have high rad, and don't have any or enough Rad-Away. there are also different perks that can increase your resistance to radiation. ...Desert Ranger 4...
It doesn't "stand" for anything*rad stands for 'radiation absorbed dose'* The rad is an obsolete unit of measure. It is not an abbreviation.According to Anwers.com, it is a "unit of energy absorbed from ionizing radiation, equal to 100 ergs per gram or 0.01 joules per kilogram of irradiated material. It has been replaced as a standard scientific unit by the gray."The gray is the official SI unit equal to one joule per kilogram.
reporters slant is an "angle." Rad is a unit of radiation, but red fits too; google it
