Gamma radiation is the most energetic photons of Electro-Magnetic-Radiation that I have ever heard described; it is subseded by The X-Ray bands of EM Radiation.
In terms of penetrating power (XD), gamma radiation would be stronger. You need a layer of thin aluminum foil to stop a beta ray whilst gamma rays cannot be stopped but 2-3m of solid concrete or 30cm...
Gamma comes as a result of alpha or beta. Gammas covers a bigger area than beta and alpha and is in that way more dangerous, but if you ever get alpha radiation inside of you, that is very dangerous.
Of alpha, beta and gamma radiation, gamma radiation has the greater ability to penetrate either shielding or living tissue. The penetration issue aside, a contact source that is an alpha emitter can...
Yes, gamma rays are ionizing but not as strongly ionizing as other forms of radiation such as Alpha, which is the strongest due to it's size, therefore making it more likely to collide with atoms and...
