Question

6 from strongest to weakest, rank the penetrating ability of each radioactive particle. alpha, gamma, beta beta, gamma, alpha gamma, beta, alpha alpha, beta, gamma

Explanation:

Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves with no mass or charge, so they have the strongest penetrating ability. Beta particles are electrons or positrons with relatively small mass and charge, so their penetrating ability is weaker than gamma rays. Alpha particles are helium nuclei with relatively large mass and charge, so their penetrating ability is the weakest.

Answer:

C. gamma, beta, alpha
