Arrange the following radiation according to their tissue damaging propey from maximum to minimum:
Tissue damaging propey of any radiation from any radioactive material is solely dependent on the ionizing effect. The decreasing order of the ionizing activity is as follows: alpha > b > x-ray > g. Alpha paicles haveapproximately four times the mass of a proton or neutron and approximately 8,000 times the mass of a betapaicle. Because of the large mass of the-alphapaicle, it has the highest ionizing power and the greatest ability to damage tissue. gamma and x rays, which are electromagnetic, indirectlyionizing radiation. These are indirectlyionizingbecause they are electrically neutral (as are all electromagnetic radiations) and do not interact with atomic electrons through coulombic forces.
g-rays> X-rays > b - rays > a- rays
a- rays > b - rays > g-rays > X-rays
a- rays > b - rays > X-rays > g-rays
X-rays > g-rays >a- rays > b - rays
