Answer:

<em><u>Gamma γ radiations has the highest penetrating power,</u></em> of all the nuclear emissions.

Explanation:

The three major types of nuclear emissions are <em>alpha (α), beta (β)</em> and <em>gamma </em>radiations. Of all three, gamma (Υ) radiations have the highest penetrating power (only shielded by lead and concrete), owing to its lack of mass and charge.

It also has a low ionization power and so does not interact well with matter. IT has vast application in cancer treatment and sterilization mechanism.
