Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The radioactive radiation arises due to the radioactive decay of the elements. The radioactive particles produce in the decay process.
The radioactive particles alpha and beta particle have less penetrating power than gamma rays. The badges are designed to detect the gamma radiation only because this radiation is very harmful for human body. The alpha and beta particle are very less harmful than gamma rays. The device monitor only measures the gamma radiation.
Conclusion:
Thus, the device monitor only measures the gamma radiation.
