Which type of radiation can only be stopped by a thick lead sheet or very thick concrete?
Gamma radiation
Which form of radiation will be stopped by a thick layer of concrete or a thick layer of lead?
Gamma rays and X-rays will pass right through paper (which will stop alpha rays) and aluminum sheets (that will stop beta rays), but can be stopped by a thick layer of concrete, lead, or other substances having sufficient mass.
Which material is most effective for stopping gamma radiation?
Alpha is completely stopped by one sheet of paper or your outer skin layer.Beta needs several inches of material to stop it.Gamma requires tens of feet of concrete or lead to stop it.Neutrons require 10s of feet of borated concrete or a similar amount of water to stop them.
How can a gamma be stopped?
you can help it by using bug spray
What can stop both alpha and gamma waves?
First of all its a Alpha particle, and a gamma wave, Paper can stop alpha, and nothing can stop gamma, but it is slowed down by lead, and concrete.
Which type of radiation can only be stopped by a thick lead sheet or very thick concrete?
Gamma radiation
What are best protection of gama rays?
concrete or thick led. gamma rays cant be stopped they go on for millions of years.
How can the energy produced by a gamma particle be stopped?
by many many yards of alternating steel plate and borated concrete shield, and still a little gets through. gamma is very penetrating!
Is gamma radiation stopped by an electric field?
No, gamma rays are not stopped by an electric field.
Is radiation stopped by anything?
It depends on the type of radiation. Alpha can be stopped with a few inches of air, or even a sheet of paper. Beta can be stopped with a sheet of metal. Gamma and neutron takes lead and/or concrete, sometimes several feet. Neutrinos can hardly be stopped by anything - they travel through the Earth with ease.

What are the three kinds of nuclear radiation?
Nuclear radiation is radiation that is emitted by atomic nuclei in various nuclear processes ( fusion...). There are three types of nuclear radiation:- 1)Alpha----> the least penetrating of all, it can be stopped by a sheet of paper. 2)Beta----> more penertrating than alpha, less penetrating than gamma, can be stopped by an aluminum sheet. 3) Gamma-----> most penetrating, can be stopped by meters of concrete.
What type of particles can pass through concrete?
gamma

Best Protection against gamma rays?
Concrete, lead
The most penetrating of the types of nuclear radiation?
Gamma rays. They need layers of concrete and lead. They are also still not completely blocked.
