Just been revising radiation for an upcoming exam, and was wondering which form of radiation, [tex]\alpha[/tex], [tex]\beta[/tex] or [tex]\gamma[/tex] is the worst to be exposed to?
Ionising power decreases from alpha to gamma, but penetrating power increases from alpha to gamma. Which is more important when considering how much damage each form can do to human cells?
