Sometimes a particle of radiation penetrates a substance and continues on its way, and sometimes it doesn't. For the particles that don't make it through a substance, what happened to them? At the atomic level what part of an atom did they hit? As for the particles that weren't shielded or blocked by the material, how did they manage to get through?
