What radiation type has the greatest ability to penetrate human tissue?
Gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is the least penetrating, beta radiation penetrates and lasts longer than alpha but also "dies out" relatively quickly, but Gamma radiation will not only penetrate deep, but it will also stay long.
Which type of radiation produces a wave and a lot of energy?
Gamma radiation is a type of nuclear radiation made of high energy waves.
Which of the three kinds of radiation is most penetrating?
Gamma ray, by far. Alfa can be blocked by as little as a piece of notebook paper, buy Gamma (from sources such as a reactor core) will pass through 6 feet for stailsteel-lined concrete and can give a leathal dose in as little as 20 minutes.
Gamma radiation and x radiation provide ionizing forms of radiation What effect does ionizing radiation have on molecules through which they pass?
