Types of Radiation
Gamma Gamma rays are the most penetrating of the three types of radiation listed here. Gamma rays usually accompany beta, and some alpha rays. Gamma rays will penetrate paper, skin, wood, and other substances. To protect yourself from gamma rays ... severe damage to your internal organs. (X-rays fall into this category, but they are less penetrating than gamma rays.) Back: SAAPMB Home page News! Thank ...
