Solution

Radioactivity :- Any radioactive nucleus spontaneously emits likes $α, β a n d γ$ - particles from an unstable nucleus is called radioactivity.
Out of $α, β$ and $γ$ radiation, $α -$ radiation have least penetrating power and $γ -$ radiation have highest penetrating power.
Gamma radiation have shortest wave length so it has highest penetration power.
$α -$ radiation have largest wave length so it has least penetrating power .
Hence, $α -$ radiation have the least penetrating power.
