Photon - you can think of it as a bundle of waves
Electromagnetic radiation can behave either as a wave or a particle. A wave particle is duality. Electromagnetic energy results from acceleration of a charge EM radiation can travel through a medium or vacuum.
Radiation damping is a phenomenon where electromagnetic waves emitted by an accelerating charged particle lead to the loss of energy and momentum from the particle. This process causes the particle to slow down due to the radiation it emits.
Gamma radiation is the most energetic and penetrating of the options provided, followed by the alpha particle, beta particle, and antineutrino, in descending order.
Braking radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) slows down or changes direction due to interacting with a nearby atom or nucleus. This sudden deceleration causes the particle to emit photons as it loses energy. Braking radiation can be seen in X-ray production when high-speed electrons are slowed down in the target material.
EM radiation higher in frequency than violet visible light but lower in frequency than soft x-rays.
The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an EM wave that transmits energy.
The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is a name for different types of radiation. Most radiation comes from the sun. Want more info?
EM is short for electromagnetic.

Alpha Particle
Gamma radiation is the most energetic and penetrating of the options provided, followed by the alpha particle, beta particle, and antineutrino, in descending order.
Alpha (and beta) radiation is "particle radiation" Gamma is electro-magnetic radiation.
In a vacuum, 3x10^8 ms^-1. Basically the speed of light, it is EM radiation afterall.
infrared radiation ;)<3
Gamma radiation
The Wilson Chamber has the radiation independent of the particle. This is a particle detector used for detecting ionizing radiation.
