Gamma is electro-magnetic radiation.

a Alpha and Beta
Alpha radiation is a type of radiation that cannot pass through solids. This type of radiation consists of alpha particles, which are positively charged and relatively heavy, making them easier to block by solid materials.
Alpha
All of them - alpha - beta - neutron - visible light - are examples of nuclear radiation.
alpha
Alpha radiation is the least ionizing type of nuclear radiation. It consists of positively charged alpha particles, which have low penetrating power and are easily stopped by a sheet of paper or clothing.
Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, whereas alpha and beta radiation are composed of particles. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy, whereas alpha and beta particles are larger and less penetrating. Gamma radiation does not carry an electric charge, while alpha and beta particles do.
Rn-222 emits alpha radiation. This type of radiation consists of alpha particles, which are made up of two protons and two neutrons. Alpha radiation tends to have low penetrating power and can be stopped by a piece of paper or human skin.
