Radiation used to check the thickness if the foil?
Gamma radiation
What is the radius of radiation from a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear reactors have a large thickness of shielding (concrete mainly) around them which reduces any radiation outside the reactor to hardly more than normal background.
How can we protect ourselves from ultraviolet rays and gamma rays and X-rays?
Appropriate clothing or sunblock provide protection from ultraviolet (UV) rays when one must be out in the sun. Dense materials like lead can be used as shielding from X-rays if a sufficient thickness is in place. In any case, we don't want anyone too close to the source. We also know that dense materials can provide shielding from gamma rays, but even more must be used as gamma rays have more energy than X-rays. UV rays can be stopped more easily than the other two radiation types, but more shielding is better for protection from the latter two radiation types. Also, the less time anyone is exposed to radiation, the better.
What is a half-value layer?
Some previously called a half-value thickness or half-value layer a half-thickness. Whatever an investigator calls it, the half-value layer is the thickness a layer of a given material would have to be to reduce the intensity of radiation striking its surface by half (50%).
What materials would stop X rays from passing through them?
This is a very difficult question to answer as it does not specify the type of radiation. As different materials react differently to different types of radiation it is essential to know the type of radiation.
What is an absorption coefficient?
An absorption coefficient is a measure of the absorption of electromagnetic radiation as it passes through a specific substance - calculated as the fraction of incident radiation absorbed by unit mass or unit thickness.

Gamma radiation
What factors in the atmosphere seem to have the greatest effect on the amount of radiation receives from the sun?
The ozone layer has the greatest effect on the amount of ultraviolet radiation received at the earth's surface from the Sun. Cloud formation and atmospheric thickness, in combination with solar angle, have the greatest effect on the amount of visible and infrared radiation received at the earth's surface from the sun

Beta radiation used rather than alpha or gamma radiation in this paper thickness equipment?
beta radiation used in this paper thickness equipment because alpha and gamma are very strong radiation which can not be used for paper thickness equipment such as paper are used by every one and it could cause radiation if other nuclear radiation like alpha and gamma are used.

What radiation should be used to check the thickness of foil?
I have been stuck on this question 'what radiation should be used to check the thickness of foil?' and recently I have found out that it is 'Gamma' radiation as it can penetrate through a variety of strong surfaces.
What type of radiation automatic thickness monitoring?
Beta
Why is beta radiation used to measure thickness?
The essence of the process is that gamma rays are passed through the object and measured, or they are passed through and backscattering is measured. The thickness can be calculated from the reduction in radiation. The nature of the object needs to be known, of course. The physical law involved is called Beer's Law, or the Beer-Lambert Law, or sometimes simply the exponential absorption law.
Why is beta radiation used to measure beta radiation?
Because its attenuation is proportional to thickness being penetrated
