alpha radiation is more dangerous than beta or gamma if ingested or inhaled because its power to ionize (or to disrupt atoms) is 20x than that of beta and gamma. but if the source is outside the body or at a distance gamma radiation is much dangerous because it could penetrate thick walls.
No, alpha particles are not the most radioactive emission. Gamma rays are more penetrating and more energetic than alpha particles, making them the most dangerous and damaging form of radiation.
Gamma rays have higher penetrating ability compared to alpha and beta particles. Gamma rays can penetrate through most materials, while alpha particles can be stopped by a sheet of paper and beta particles by a few millimeters of aluminum.
Five types of radiation include alpha, beta, gamma, neutron, and electromagnetic radiation (such as x-rays and UV rays). Gamma and neutron radiation are generally considered the most dangerous due to their ability to penetrate deep into tissues and cause severe damage.

Paper is not effective at stopping gamma rays as they are highly penetrating electromagnetic radiation. Materials such as lead or concrete are more effective at blocking gamma rays due to their higher density.
The three types of radiation given off by radioactive substances are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles are the least penetrating, beta particles are more penetrating than alpha particles, and gamma rays are the most penetrating and dangerous type of radiation.
These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Alpha rays are helium-4 nuclei, beta rays can be electrons or positrons, gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves.These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays.

Externally, gamma radiation is dangerous because it can penetrate the body. Alpha is most dangerous if ingested.

Yes, of course.
Gamma rays are the most penetration rays because of its shortest wave length...
Gamma rays are very high energy Photons. Whereas, alpha particles are Helium nuclei.

No, they are unrelated. Alpha and beta radiation are particle streams, not waves. And gamma rays are electromagnetic waves.

The gamma rays are. The alpha and beta "rays" are not.
