How can a gamma be stopped?
you can help it by using bug spray
Which type of radiation can only be stopped by a thick lead sheet or very thick concrete?
Gamma radiation
Why cannot gamma rays pass through lead?
Gamma rays can pass through lead, but the majority of the radiation is "attenuated", or stopped. Only the highest-energy particles which are not stopped by lead will transmit through it. A variety of materials can block, or attenuate, radiation, and the effectiveness of that material to attenuate radiation is in direct relation to the material's density. Other materials such as brass, tungsten, and Cerrobend (TM) can attenuate radiation.
Can beta radiation be stopped by a piece of paper?
Alpha radiation is absorbed by a sheet of paper; beta radiation is absorbed by a person; gamma radiation is absorbed by a stell wall. However, small amounts of gamma radiation can still be absorbed by a person.
What are the components of natural radiation in order from least to most penetrating?
Alpha particles, which consist of two protons and two neutrons; Beta particles, which consist of one electron; Gamma rays, which is the highest frequency of electromagnetic radiation, has no mass, and is not made up of any subatomic particles. Alpha particles con be stopped by a mere piece of paper; Beta particles can pass through paper but can be stopped by aluminum foil; Gamma rays can pass through paper and aluminum foil, and can only be stopped by lead or concrete.
Is gamma radiation stopped by an electric field?
No, gamma rays are not stopped by an electric field.

What is gamma radiaton made up of?
Gamma Radiation is a wave of the Electromagnetic Spectrum, and is created by sub-atomic activity - such as nuclear fission and fusion. Gamma is alos an ionizing form of radiation, along with UV and X-rays, so can cause serious bodily harm, or over long periods of time death, if directly exposed e.g. if you touch a gamma radiation source.
Which rays can not be stopped by thick sheets of lead?
gamma rays
If i exposed myself to gamma rays just for 1 sec, will i be spotdead , with moderate injuries or completely okayif not?
It will depend on the magnitude and concentration of the radiaton exposed. ..if coming from a high source typically its death
How do you spell radiaton?
radiation
What is alpha beta gama?
they are the 3 types of radiation: alpha is the weakest and can be stopped by paper,beta is the medium strength and can be stopped by aluminum and gamma is the strongest and can only be stopped by several millimeters of lead gamma is the only radiation that is able to pass through anti radiation suits altha beta anf gamma are also the first 3 letters of the greek alphabet
What is an affect of adaptive radiaton?
Speciation
Does a candle emits infrared radiaton?
Yes.
Can gamma rays be stopped and how?
It seems that any matter will stop part of the gamma rays; to stop most of the gamma rays from passing, you would need a fairly thick layer of matter. The thickness required to block half of the gamma rays depends on the energy of the gamma rays. Just about any matter will do. For more details, check the Wikipedia article "Gamma ray", section "Shielding".
