Which is the most ionising radiation?
Open in App
Solution
A particular kind of ionizing radiation is made up of photons known as weightless energy packets.
The human body can be totally penetrated by gamma rays, which can harm DNA and tissue as they do so.
The mass of an alpha particle is around
8
,
000
times that of a beta particle and is roughly
4
times that of a neutron or proton.
Due to the huge mass of the
alpha particle
, it has
the highest ionizing strength
and ability to damaged tissue.
