What type of radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter?
The Least penetrating form of radiation is Alpha as it only travels 10cm in air and is stopped by paper. Alpha is also the most ionising, Beta is less ionising still and Gamma is the least ionising as photons carry no charge so they have less effect.
What type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelenght?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength compared to most of other electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have high penetrating power and are high in frequency. Exposure to this type of radiation can cause many health complications.
What type of light waves carry the most energy?
Gamma radiation is an extremely high frequency EM wave and is probably the common lightwave with the highest energy. Since energy is proportional to frequency, the highest energy wave would be that with the highest frequency.
What type of radiation causes most ionisation?
The electromagnetic radiation most capable of ionizing is the radiation with the highest energy per quantum. That in turn implies the radiation with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength). The highest-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum is the region we call "gamma rays". We can't generate these, and the gamma rays we observe all originate in radioactive nuclear processes.
Infrared radiation is what type of energy?
Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic energy
Because of its low penetrating ability the type of radiation which is usually only a hazard when inhaled or ingested is?
Alpha Radiation
What type of ionized radiation is the least penetrating?
Alpha radiation.
Which type of radiation is most penetrating in solid substances?
Gamma radiation
Which type of radiation has the has the greatest penetrating power?
Gamma Ray
What type of radiation from the nucleus is more penetrating than either alpha or beta particles?
Gamma radiation
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.

What type of radiation has the highest frequencey?
Gamma Rays
Which type of electro magnetic has a highest frequency?
It is gamma radiation.
What type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelenght?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength compared to most of other electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have high penetrating power and are high in frequency. Exposure to this type of radiation can cause many health complications.
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.
Which type of radiation hits the earth in the highest percentage?
Solar radiation, in the form of sunlight, hits the Earth in the highest percentage. This radiation provides energy for life on Earth and drives various processes like photosynthesis and weather patterns.
