You are correct if you listed any two of the following:
Radiation travels with a speed either equal to, or almost equal, to the speed of
light.
The ability of radiation to penetrate the human body ranges from very little (less
than 1/1000th for alpha particles) to deep penetration (gamma rays).
This radiation travels in straight lines with some scattering.
Some types of ionizing radiation are very well absorbed by air--(examples--alpha,
beta, and neutrons); other types are not absorbed by air (example--gamma
rays). (para 2-4)
