Alpha radiation is the most ionizing of the three radiations but can fortunately be stopped by a few centimetres of air or a thin sheet of paper. Beta and especially Gamma are less ionising but are more penetrative and therefore can cause damage while on the outside of the body (whereas alpha will only really cause damage inside).

Gamma will cause the most damage to you. Gamma rays can can almost pierce through solid concrete and if you come into contact with them, they disturb your cells on a cellular level.

Can ultrasound waves are alpha beta or gamma rays?
No, they are unrelated. Alpha and beta radiation are particle streams, not waves. And gamma rays are electromagnetic waves.
What particle has high Energy Alpha or Beta?
Gamma
What are the 3 particles of radiation?
Alpha, Beta and Gamma
Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Beta radiation is made from electrons (or positrons for inverse beta radiation). Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus, and gamma radiation is a high energy electromagnetic ray.
Non-example of alpha decay?
Beta or gamma disintegration.
When was Alpha Beta Gamma created?
Alpha Beta Gamma was created in 1970.
What are the negative effects of alpha radiation?
the negative effects of alpha radiation in general, alpha is of small risk to humans. compared to it's cousin's, beta and gamma.
Mass of alpha beta gamma?
Well mass of alpha is 4 but i don't know the other two, sorry The mass for alpha beta and gamma are ... alpha=4 beta=1/200 gamma=0 :)

Three froms of radioactivity are?
Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Alpha and beta are both particles, but gamma is in the form of a wave. Gamma can travel the fathest but Alpha is the most dangerous when in contact with your skin
