Gamma ray, by far.
Alfa can be blocked by as little as a piece of notebook paper, buy Gamma (from sources such as a reactor core) will pass through 6 feet for stailsteel-lined concrete and can give a leathal dose in as little as 20 minutes.

Gamma radiation is the most penetrating of the three types of radiation (alpha, beta, and gamma). Gamma radiation can penetrate through the human body and thick shielding, making it the most difficult to shield against.

What are 3 kinds of radiation given off by radioactive substances?
The three types of radiation given off by radioactive substances are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles are the least penetrating, beta particles are more penetrating than alpha particles, and gamma rays are the most penetrating and dangerous type of radiation.
What are the three kinds of nuclear radiation?
The three types of nuclear radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles are helium nuclei consisting of two protons and two neutrons, beta particles are high-speed electrons or positrons, and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation of high energy.
Which type of radiation is most penetrating in solid substances?
Gamma radiation is the most penetrating type of radiation in solid substances due to its highly energetic nature and ability to penetrate through thick materials. Its high penetration power makes it difficult to shield against, requiring dense materials such as lead or concrete for effective protection.
What ist he most penetrating form of nuclear radiation?
Gamma rays .It can penetrate several cm of lead.
Which list places the three types of radiation in order from least penetrating to most penetrating?
Highest penetration: Gamma (y) Second highest: Beta (B)Weakest penetration: Alpha (a)Explanation: The relative penetrating abilities of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. The heavy, highly charged alpha particles are stopped by a piece of paper (or the skin). The lighter, less highly charged beta particles penetrate paper, but are stopped by a 0.5-cm sheet of lead. Because gamma rays have no charge and no mass, they are the most penetrating, but can be stopped by several centimeters of lead.
Which unit of radiation dose rem or rad is most useful for describing the effect of radiation on living tissue?
rem
What electromagnetic waves are the most energized?
Gamma Radiation
Which organism is most likely to have the most different kinds of cell?
bacteria

What kinds of drafting would be most closely associated with parts drawings and specifications for machine design?
kinds of drafts
Does lemonade have zinc in it?
Some kinds do. But most of them have zinc in them.
Which will emit the most infra red radiation a glass of milk taken from the fridge or a cup of tea?
In general, a hotter object will emit more radiation per unit area.
Does radiation levels on earth increase during solar storms?
Not appreciably, or at least, not at sea level. Flight crews flying at 42,000 feet on polar routes (for example, Los Angeles to London or New York to Tokyo) _ARE_ at risk of increased radiation exposure. And some commercial airline flights have been cancelled for this reason! The Earth's atmosphere protects us against most solar radiation, but at high altitude, you are above 3/4 of the atmosphere. For most airline crews, it's only a minor increase in the lifetime radiation exposure risk. But solar storms can increase the risk. And on polar routes, the Earth's magnetic field offers less protection than in temperate latitudes. When all three combine, the risk of radiation-induced cancers can get up to the "Measurable" level.
What are MTI whirlpools made of?
A MTI Whirpool is a type of bathtub that features a jet of water in a swirling motion that provides a deep-penetrating massage. Most MTI Whirlpools are made out of acrylic material.
Why do you have most of your hair on your head?
to protect you from the radiation of the sun and to help insulate you against heat loss
What happeens to the rest of the radition that doesn't make it to earth?
I assume you mean the radiation from the Sun. Most of this radiation goes out into space, and it just continues going on and on. A tiny part of this will eventually be absorbed by some planet, star, dust, or gas; but most of it will just continue going.
What was explosive adaptive radiation of mammals most likely a result of what?
For plato users D)Both A and B
