Alpha radiation is absorbed by a sheet of paper; beta radiation is absorbed by a person; gamma radiation is absorbed by a stell wall. However, small amounts of gamma radiation can still be absorbed by a person.
No, it is alpha radiation which can be stopped by a sheet of paper (or even just a few feet of air).
Beta radiation takes a little more, like a sheet of aluminum.
The radiation of an electron is Radiolectonoil. -Professor Lyle
Alpha particles, which consist of two protons and two neutrons; Beta particles, which consist of one electron; Gamma rays, which is the highest frequency of electromagnetic radiation, has no mass, and is not made up of any subatomic particles. Alpha particles con be stopped by a mere piece of paper; Beta particles can pass through paper but can be stopped by aluminum foil; Gamma rays can pass through paper and aluminum foil, and can only be stopped by lead or concrete.
There are different kinds of radiation and different kinds of paper. For the electromagnetic radiation, every material has "transparency windows". Sunlight is the electromagnetic radiation, too. As you can tell, some paper is transparent to it and some not. If we consider the particles radiation, then the particles nature and energy play major roles. Some heavy particles with low energy can be scattered by even relatively light obstacles. Whereas such particles as neutrino easily go through the entire Earth. alpha particles can be stopped by thin objects such as paper. beta particles can be stopped by thicker objects suck as plastic or aluminum foil gamma radiation can be stopped by several feet thick of concrete and/or lead
beta radiation used in this paper thickness equipment because alpha and gamma are very strong radiation which can not be used for paper thickness equipment such as paper are used by every one and it could cause radiation if other nuclear radiation like alpha and gamma are used.
burns it a lot

Alpha i think and maybe beta. it will be beta because alpha can be stopped with a sheet of paper while beta is stronger but gamma will pierce rite through a 2-cm cardboard
they are the 3 types of radiation: alpha is the weakest and can be stopped by paper,beta is the medium strength and can be stopped by aluminum and gamma is the strongest and can only be stopped by several millimeters of lead gamma is the only radiation that is able to pass through anti radiation suits altha beta anf gamma are also the first 3 letters of the greek alphabet
Alpha. Beta particles are blocked by a few mm of aluminum and gamma by a few cm of lead. Alpha. Beta particles are blocked by a few mm of aluminum and gamma by a few cm of lead.

Highest penetration: Gamma (y) Second highest: Beta (B)Weakest penetration: Alpha (a)Explanation: The relative penetrating abilities of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. The heavy, highly charged alpha particles are stopped by a piece of paper (or the skin). The lighter, less highly charged beta particles penetrate paper, but are stopped by a 0.5-cm sheet of lead. Because gamma rays have no charge and no mass, they are the most penetrating, but can be stopped by several centimeters of lead.
Beta particles are not stopped by a paper sheet.

Alpha radiation consists of very heavy particles that can easily be stopped by a piece of paper. Beta radiation is much lighter and can be stopped by maybe 1/2 inch to 1 inch thick paper. Gamma radiation is high energy electromagnetic waves ( like x - rays) and can penetrate very much farther. Usually attenuation of gamma is referred to as tenth thickness or the thichness of a material that will decrease the amound of gamma rays penetrating it to 1/10 th of the original amount.
It depends on the type of radiation. Alpha can be stopped with a few inches of air, or even a sheet of paper. Beta can be stopped with a sheet of metal. Gamma and neutron takes lead and/or concrete, sometimes several feet. Neutrinos can hardly be stopped by anything - they travel through the Earth with ease.
beta radiation used in this paper thickness equipment because alpha and gamma are very strong radiation which can not be used for paper thickness equipment such as paper are used by every one and it could cause radiation if other nuclear radiation like alpha and gamma are used.
