Radioactivity's capacity to penetrate through materials is referred to as its penetrating ability. The capacity to penetrate is proportional to the magnitude of the radioactive particle. Alpha particle: The largest particles constitute alpha particles, beta particles are significantly smaller, and gamma rays have no mass. The larger the particle, the further probable it is to collide well with a substance's atoms. The impact will cause the particle to cease moving through the substance. Therefore, alpha radiations have the least penetrating power as they are massive in nature.
