Answer:

The absorbed dose of radiation is typically measured in units of grays (Gy). One gray is equivalent to the absorption of one joule of energy per kilogram of matter. The absorbed dose is a measure of the energy that is actually absorbed by a substance, whereas the exposure dose is a measure of the energy that is deposited by ionizing radiation in the air.
