What minimum type of shielding is needed to stop gamma radiation?
Gamma radiation has in principle infinite range. So it is not possible to block it completely. But it is possible to attenuate it to certain level. The thickness of concrete needed depends on gamma photons energy and concrete properties.
The electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies are called?
The answer is gamma rays.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
How do radiographers protect themselves from x-rays and gamma rays?
By wearing radiation monitoring badges and also protective aprons which are called lead coats.
What is x-ray and gamma rays?
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.
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.
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".

What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
When did Paul Ulrich Villard observed that gamma radiation is more penetrating than X-rays?
Paul Villard discovered the gamma ray in 1900, by sending radiation through lead shielding, which would have stopped X-rays. In his process, he separated beta from gamma rays, which went through the shield and, he also showed, were unaffected by magnetic fields.

Are there problems with gamma rays?
no gamma rays are the best
What is x rays and gamma rays?
Cathode rays generate x-rays and gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have very high penetration power.
What are gamma rays crest?
gamma rays are Vincent is weird
