Is it true that the three major kinds of radiation gamma rays can penetrate the farthest into a material?

Gamma rays can travel furthest into a material which is why it is emitted in a nuclear bomb blast. In a supernova gamma rays are burst out in all directions.
Gamma rays are so deadly all life on Earth could be annihilated because of a single supernova from as far as 7 light years away!

What form of ionizing radiation can penetrate deeply body tissue?
Gamma radiation, X Rays
What form of ionizing radiation can deeply penetrate into body tissue?
Gamma radiation, X Rays
Which type of barriers can gamma particle penetrate through?
Gamma radiation is highly penetrative, and can pass through many substances without stopping. Several centimetres of lead or several meters of concrete is required to dissipate gamma radiation.
Which do you think will penetrate farther into a block of lead x-rays or gamma rays explain why?
Gamma radiation and x-radiation are identical if they both have the same wave length. The only difference between x-radiation and gamma radiation is that gamma radiation is produced by natural processes while x-radiation is man-made. The block of lead will not be able to tell the difference between the two sources and will attenuate both the same.
What radiation can harm the internal organs?
Gamma radiation is not easily absorbed by the human body(not as easily as alpha and beta anyway). So it can penetrate to the internal organs and harm them.
Which type of radiation can penetrate penetrate deepest into exposed materials?
gamma
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 is difficult to stop?
Gamma rays can penetrate just about any type of matter. It takes meters of thick material to shield people from gamma rays.
What form of ionizing radiation can penetrate deeply into tissues?
Gamma radiation, X Rays
What form of radiation can penetrate deeply into body tissue?
Gamma radiation, X Rays
Why does a kidney scanner use gamma radiation rather than beta or alpha radiation?
since gamma radiation can penetrate more they are used in kidney scanners
What form of ionizing radiation can penetrate deeply body tissue?
Gamma radiation, X Rays
What form of ionizing radiation can deeply penetrate into body tissue?
Gamma radiation, X Rays
What type of radiation can penetrate deepest into exposes materials?
gamma decay
How do you prepare gamma radiation?
Gamma radiations is a natural process by radioactive material.
Which type of barriers can gamma particle penetrate through?
Gamma radiation is highly penetrative, and can pass through many substances without stopping. Several centimetres of lead or several meters of concrete is required to dissipate gamma radiation.
What ist he most penetrating form of nuclear radiation?
Gamma rays .It can penetrate several cm of lead.
