Penetrating Properties of Radiation

The video tutorial explains radioactivity, its discovery by Marie Curie and Bequerel, and further investigation by Rutherford. It covers the three types of radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma, detailing their properties and penetration abilities. The use of a Geiger Muller tube for detection is discussed, along with the characteristics of each radiation type. The video also addresses safety measures for radiation exposure, highlighting the use of dosimeter badges and the potential effects of radiation on genetic material, including its role in evolution.
