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 type of radiation is composed of electrons?
Beta radiation
Which type of radiation produces a wave and a lot of energy?
Gamma radiation is a type of nuclear radiation made of high energy waves.
Which of the following is not a type of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles neutron emission x rays?
X-rays are not a type of nuclear radiation. They are a type of electromagnetic radiation.
What absorbs Earth's radiation?
It depends on the type of radiation.
Which type of heat transfer does fiberglass insulation in a dishwasher mainly stop?
radiation
Is there any type of radiation that can stops xrays?
No type of electromagnetic radiation has any effect on any other type. In order to 'stop' it, you need a material that absorbs it.

What type of tobacco is the most difficult to stop?
Nicotine of course.
From which radiation it is most difficult to protect oneself?
Gamma Radiation
Can radiation penetrate steel?
It depends on the concrete and the type of radiation. If the concrete is feet thick, then it should only pass through the very surface and stop dead in it's tracks mid-way through the concrete. Recap: Yes, but if the concrete is long/wide enough, it will not pass through completely.
What can be blocked with a sheet of paper?
A lot of things, but I think you might be referring to which form of radiation since this is the classic answer as to what would stop Alpha radiation. Furthermore tinfoil would stop alpha and beta radiation and lead would stop alpha, beta and gamma radiation.
What type of radiation does radioactivity produces?
The Type Of Radiation That It Produce Is The Gamma Ray!
Infrared radiation is what type of energy?
Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic energy
How can gamma be harmful?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic energy. They are the highest energy type of ionizing radiation, and they are difficult to stop. They can be harmful because they can break atomic bonds in biological materials. Gamma rays can damage the DNA and other structures within cells, and this can lead to cellular mutation or cellular death. Large doses can cause cancer or radiation sickness, and can be eventually lethal.
What type of radiation is the least ionizing?
Alpha radiation.
What type of radiation is easiest to shield?
Alpha radiation
