The nuclear emission with the least penetrating power is

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alpha particles have the least penetrating power among the three types of nuclear emissions. They are comparatively larger and heavier, and therefore have a shorter range in air and materials. Beta particles, on the other hand, have moderate penetrating power and are able to penetrate thin layers of materials. Gamma rays are the most penetrating with the ability to pass through thick layers of materials and even the human body. Therefore, the correct answer is A) alpha.
