Explanation:

Types of radiation differ in their ability to penetrate material and damage tissue, with alpha particles the least penetrating but potentially most damaging and gamma rays the most penetrating. The two best ways to minimize exposure is to limit time of exposure and to increase distance from the source.

or

The material is said to have absorbed the radiation. ... The alpha radiation transfers more energy to an absorber than beta or gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is absorbed by the thickness of the skin or by a few centimetres of air. Beta radiation is more penetrating than alpha radiation.
