What form of ionizing radiation can penetrate deeply into the body tissue?
alpha
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 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.
What is unique about receiving a dose of neutron radiation and an equivalent dose of other types of radiation either ionizing or nonionizing?
The neutron radiation can turn stable elements in your body to radioactive isotopes (called neutron activation). This makes you radioactive in a way that cannot be removed by any attempt at decontamination. No other type of radiation can do this.

ionizing radiation
Does removing body hair with laser cause cancer?
No. Laser hair removal uses non-ionizing radiation (which means it doesn't damage DNA) so it can't cause cancer. We're surrounded by ionizing radiation every day. Other examples of non-ionizing radiation include visible light and radio waves.
Why is alpha radiation more dangerous than beta rediation when the source of the radiation is inside the body?
Alpha radiation cannot get pass through our body as it cannot penetrate through things. Beta can penetrate through things better than alpha. So if alpha is inside our body then it cannot get outside our body and therefore it becomes dangerous.
Which kind of radiation can penetrate clothing and skin to damage cells deep within a living body?
