Question

Name the three different types of radiation and describe how they are different in their penetrating abilities. Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

The three different type of radiations are:

1) Alpha (α) radiation

2) Beta (β) radiation

3) Gamma ($\gamma$) radiation

Penetrating Ability:

Penetrating Ability of gamma rays is the highest.

That of Beta Rays is higher.

That of Alpha Rays is lowest

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Alpha radiation

2. Beta radiation

3. Gamma radiation

Explanation:

Penetration Ability:

ALPHA: being relative heavier in mass they have less penetration power.They can penetrate thin layer of solid such as Mica paper. They are stopped by an aluminum foil that is 0.1mm thick

2:BETA:being relative lighter in mass their penetrating power is greater than alpha rays

3: GAMMA:their penetrating power is much greater than other two rays....
