Answer : The correct option is, (A) Aluminum foil
Explanation :
Penetration power : It is the movement of particles or the ray through an object. As we know that the more the energy of a particle, the more will be the penetrating power.
The ascending order of the penetration power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays are:
Alpha rays < Beta rays < Gamma rays
The penetrating power of the alpha, beta and gamma rays varies greatly. That means,
- The alpha particles are restricted by paper.
- The beta particles can pass through the paper but it can not pass through the aluminum foil.
- The restriction of gamma rays is very difficult. It can be restrict or blocked only by concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding.
Hence, Aluminium foil will stop beta particles.
