Nothing stops 'Gamma' rays, however you can block it with 1/2" of lead will prevent 1/2 of the radiation and then it will continue until it is and insignificant amount to record.
Hope this was helpful.

∙ 12y agoi think it takes about 3 inches of solid led to stop a gamma rays.

∙ 15y agoAlmost any material can stop this if used in sufficient quantities. However, several common materials used are lead, barium sulfate, concrete, and sometimes depleted uranium.

∙ 13y agolead with a high density,since material with a higher density will reduce the intensity of radiation passing through the material....

Which has higher frequency x-ray or gamma ray?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency.
What is the function of gamma rays?
what is function of gamma ray
Is there a ray with shorter wavelength than the gamma ray?
Cosmic rays have shorter wavelength than gamma rays
Which ray is the strongest?
Gamma Ray
Why do we use gamma ray machine?
We use a gamma ray machine to find out where the gamma rays are and where they are pointed to. We also use these machines to study a gamma ray.

When was Gamma Ray - band - created?
Gamma Ray - band - was created in 1988.
What type of ray is gamma ray commonly known as?
well none, its either gamma ray or gamma radiation, it has the same wavelength as an x-ray but higher energy level.
What is the energy of a gamma ray?
A gamma ray will have energy in excess of 100 keV (kiloelectronvolts).
Which has higher frequency x-ray or gamma ray?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency.
Is a gamma ray a natural ray?
Yes, a gamma ray is a natural ray. It occurs as a result of changes to atomic nuclei, and we most often see them (gamma rays) appear in radioactive decay.
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".
