Beta particles Memes

SpongeBob perfectly demonstrates the penetrating power of different radiation types! Alpha (α) radiation? That's just spicy air that can't even get through paper—or apparently SpongeBob's skin, making him panic over basically nothing. Beta (β) radiation is that middle-child energy that penetrates a bit deeper, turning our porous friend into a walking X-ray. But gamma (γ) radiation? That stuff goes through EVERYTHING like it's not even there, leaving SpongeBob sitting in existential dread as his cells get thoroughly zapped! The perfect visual representation of why lead aprons exist in radiology departments everywhere!
