Answer : The order of the type of nuclear radiation from lowest to highest energy is,

Explanation :

Nuclear radiation : It is the energy of the particles that are releases from the radioactive elements. There are three types of particles which are, alpha, beta and gamma particles.

The energy of the particles depends on their penetration power.

Penetration power : It is the movement of rays or the particles through an object.

As we know that the more the penetrating power, the more will be the energy of a particle.

The increasing order of the penetration power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays will be,

Alpha rays < Beta rays < Gamma rays

or,

Hence, the increasing order of the energy of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays will be same.

Alpha rays < Beta rays < Gamma rays
