Respuesta :

gamma radiation because it can pass through several centimeters of lead also

Answer:

Gamma Rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays are the highest penetrating power. It is  emitted from the nucleus of a radioactive atom during radioactive decaying. They are capable of travelling many yards in air. Gamma rays can easily penetrate a human body. Shielding this very high penetrating type of ionizing radiation requires a thick dense material such as several inches of concrete or lead.
