An alpha particle, beta particle, and gamma particle. Alpha particles are heavy and can't penetrate things. Beta particles are lighter and could penetrate things. Gamma rays are waves and could go the farthest.

Electromagnetic Radiation

Electromagnetic radiation are simply waves. They are listed in the electromagnetic spectrum. Some waves are harmless like microwave and radio waves. While others could be harmful like UV or gamma rays. We call the harmless ones non-ionizing and the harmful ones ionizing. This type of radiation is part of our lives, the lights we see is radiation. It is also used to do x-rays.
