Beta particles can travel up to a few meters in air before they lose energy and are absorbed. The distance they can travel depends on the energy of the particle, with higher energy beta particles able to travel further.
Beta particles can travel several feet in the air, but their range is dependent on factors such as their energy level and the density of the air. Typically, beta particles with higher energies can travel further distances before losing their energy and stopping.
Beta radiation can travel several feet in the air, but its range is limited. The distance it travels depends on the energy of the beta particles and the density of the material it's traveling through. Beta radiation can be stopped by materials such as aluminum or even a few millimeters of plastic.
Beta particles can travel a few feet in air, but they can be stopped by a thin sheet of aluminum or plastic. The distance beta particles travel depends on their energy, with higher energy particles traveling farther.
Sound is a wave, not a particle. Sound waves are created by vibrations and travel through a medium, such as air or water, to carry sound from one place to another.
sound waves does not travel through long distance because in sound waves particles vibration is parallel to the direction of wave propagation due to this one particle is collide with other particle so because of this back and forth vibration sound waves travel worse through air

That depends on the energy of the beta particles and the medium they are passing through. In air beta can travel several inches to several feet. Beta cannot pass through a single layer of aluminum foil.

Alpha particles are larger and heavier than beta particles, so they interact more readily with air molecules through collisions. This causes alpha particles to lose their energy more quickly and travel shorter distances in air compared to beta particles, which are smaller and lighter. Additionally, alpha particles have a higher ionization potential, leading to more interactions with air molecules and a shorter range in air.
Alpha particles have a mass of about 4 and a charge of +2, while beta particles have a mass of about 5x10-4 and a charge of -1. As such, the alpha particle interacts much more easily than the beta particle, and spends its energy more quickly.

Not much. A sheet of paper will stop it. The alpha particle is two protons and two neutrons - a helium-4 nucleus. As radiation goes, it's big and fat, and it will "run into" stuff even if it's just flying through air. Depending on its energy, it can penetrate air, but not more than a few inches.
Gamma Rays are electromagnetic radiation , just like light is, and it travels the speed of light, 3 x 10^8 m/s . It will always be the fastest because alpha's & beta's are particles with mass and cannot travel the speed of light. The speeds of alpha's & beta's can be different in different situations and do not always have the same speed, like gammas.
Beta plus particles have a limited range in a given medium, typically traveling a few millimeters to several centimeters depending on their energy. Higher energy beta plus particles can penetrate further. In dense materials like lead, their range may be less than in air.
Light is composed of particles called photons that can travel through empty space because they do not require a medium to propagate. This is due to the wave-particle duality of light, where it behaves both as a wave and a particle, allowing it to travel through vacuum without the need for a medium like air or water.
