The type of dangerous
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The radioactive radiation occurs due to the ejection of radioactive particle in radioactive decay of radioactive material.
The penetrating power of the gamma rays is more than the alpha and beta particles. The alpha and beta particles interacts with surrounding more quickly than the gamma radiation because alpha and beta particles can easily absorbed in any medium. The gamma radiation consists high-energy photons that cannot easily be absorbed by any medium.
Conclusion:
Thus, the gamma radiation is more dangerous than the radiation of alpha and beta particles.
