Q. Which of the following has the least penetrating power?

  • (A) Alpha particles
  • (B) Beta particles
  • (C) Gamma particles
  • (D) All have the same penetrating power

Explanation by: Admin
Gamma rays are the most penetrating of all the radiations. As penetrating depends on the size of particles, bigger the size lesser the penetration power and α particles are bigger in size followed by β and then γ. Also, γ rays are highly energetic waves having higher frequency.
