Which type of radiation is most easily absorbed by shielding?
alpha radiation
Which radiation is the most easily absorbed?
alpha radiation :)
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.
Why the alpha particles are never injected for medical diagnosis?
Firstly, alpha rays are easily stopped by paper, hence imagine how easily they would be absorbed in the body! Alpha radiation does not have a long 'mean free path' (search it up :)) and hence looses its energy quickly. Hence because they area easily absorbed, then it means that this big dose of alpha radiation is beign stored in a small volume of the body's material.
Can beta radiation be stopped by a piece of paper?
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.

Is alpha radiation absorbed by paper?
Alpha radiation (a Helium atom with two neutrons) is very bulky, and therefore cannot penetrate physical objects easily. A sheet of paper will not absorb, but deflect the alpha particle.

Which radioactive most easily absorbed?
The most easily absorbed radioactive is Alpha
What is the penetration ability of alpha?
Alpha particles have a large mass and are easily absorbed and thus can only travel a few inches from their sources in air and will easily be absorbed by clothing. That being said if the source is ingested alpha particles are the most damaging form of radiation having a strong ionizing effect on their surroundings due to their high charge.
What type of material will block alpha particles?
Lead That's why they use Lead Shielding for radiation
Can beta radiation be stopped by a piece of paper?
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.
What happens to beta alpha and gamma radiation after they are emitted?
they are absorbed, depositing their energy in whatever absorbed them.
Radiation sources storage solutions?
Radiation sources are stored in containers which provide shielding to make handling and transport of the sources safe. The amount of shielding depends on the type of radiation-a gamma source requires more than a alpha or beta emitter.
What radioactive emission is that most easily absorbed?
Alpha particles.
