Radian per second frequency, , corresponds to an ordinary frequency, , which corresponds to a frequency of rotation of . Radian per second The radian per second (symbol: rad·s or rad/s) is the SI unit of rotational speed (angular velocity), commonly denoted by the Greek letter "ω" (omega). The radian per second is also the unit of angular frequency. The radian per second is defined as the change in the orientation of an object, in radians, every second. Since the radian is a dimensionless unit, the radian per second is dimensionally equivalent to the hertz—both are defined as s. This may lead to
Roentgen (unit) Roentgen (unit) The roentgen or röntgen () (symbol R) is a legacy unit of measurement for the exposure of X-rays and gamma rays. It is defined as the electric charge freed by such radiation in a specified volume of air divided by the mass of that air. In 1928 it was the first international measurement quantity for ionising radiation to be defined for radiation protection, and was an easily replicated method of measuring air ionization directly by using an ion chamber. It is named after the German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen, who discovered X-rays. Although relatively easy to measure, it had
