Question

suppose you were given three cookies containing radioactive samples, one with an alpha-emitter, the second has a beta-emitter, and the third contains that emits gamma-ray. if you were allowed to handle or do something with the cookies: (and explain the reason)1. Will you eat it2. Will you just place it in your pocket3 will you just hold it with your hand

Answer 1

I will eat the GAMMA-RAY because it can easily go outside my body without much harm. Those rays are just high-energy photons.

I think I would probably put the alpha-emitter in my pocket because those are easily stopped by a sheet of paper.
