The three main types of nuclear radiation are alpha, beta, and gamma
Which of the following lists these types of radiation from highest penetrating power to lowest penetrating power?
beta, alpha, gamma
beta, gamma, alpha
ОООО
O gamma, beta, alpha
O alpha, gamma, beta
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths of all electromagnetic radiation, has the greatest penetrating power. Gamma rays can pass completely through the human body; as they pass through, they can cause ionizations that damage tissue and DNA. Then Beta particles are more penetrating than alpha particles, but can be stopped by a thin sheet of aluminum.
