Hazards of radiation _ GCSE Physics

The video tutorial explains the properties of alpha, beta, and gamma particles, focusing on their charges and behavior in electric or magnetic fields. It highlights how radiation can damage living cells, potentially leading to cancer or radiation poisoning. The tutorial also discusses the effects of radiation exposure, emphasizing the differences in penetration and absorption of alpha, beta, and gamma particles.

What are the health risks associated with very high doses of radiation?

Describe how beta and gamma radiation interact with living cells compared to alpha particles.
