Answer:


\begin{gathered} Alpha\text{ Decay} \\ Beta\text{ Decay} \\ Gamma\text{ Decay} \end{gathered}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to order the radiations in terms of energy

There is a proportional relationship between the mass and the energy

It is established that the radiation with a higher mass would have the lesser energy

Alpha decay has the highest mass and thus, the lowest energy. This is followed by beta decay, and finally, gamma decay
