Answer : The correct option is, gamma rays only

Explanation :

Penetration power : It is defined as the movement of particles or rays through an object. As more the energy of a particle, more will be the penetrating power.

The increasing order of the penetration power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays will be,

Alpha rays < Beta rays <  Gamma rays

The penetrating power of the given rays varies greatly.

The alpha particles can be restricted by a few pieces of paper.

The beta particles can be pass through the paper but can not pass by the aluminum foil.

The blocking of gamma rays are the most difficult. It can be blocked by concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding.

Hence, the radiation can pass through the sheet of metal and hit the target is, gamma rays only

5 Facts about Geology
Bingel [31]
1-There are 18 volcanoes in the US with the potential to erupt again, all of them in Alaska, Hawaii and the West Coast states.

2-Rubies and sapphires are actually the same mineral - corundum. The basic chemical formula of corundum is Al2O3, but traces of iron stain the mineral red (ruby) while traces of chromium or titanium stain the mineral blue (sapphire).

3-Rubies, sapphires and emeralds are all more rare than diamonds.

4-Not all diamonds are transparent. They come in a variety of colors (called "fancies"), including yellow, green, blue, orange, brown ("champagne"), purple, grey, black (called carbanado, recently shown to be meteroic), milky white, pink, and red. Red is by far the rarest.

5-Antacids taste like chalk because they ARE chalk, a.k.a. calcium carbonate.

What is a maximum negative displacement of a wave
AnnZ [28]

The maximum negative displacement of a wave is the same as its amplitude.

As a wave travels through space, its particles are sometimes above the

<em>x</em>-axis (+) and sometimes below it (-).

The maximum displacement from the axis is the <em>amplitude</em> of the wave.

The amplitude of the wave is the <em>same in both the positive and negative directions</em>.
