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.

Will gamma radiation pass through plastic wrappers?
Yes, Gamma rays can pass through a metal sheet.Gamma rays are the most penetrating of the radiations.Gamma rays are highly energetic waves.It cannot be said that a particular thickness of a material can absorb all gamma radiation.Many centimeters of lead or many meters of concrete are required to absorb high levels of gamma rays.
Which type of barriers can gamma particle penetrate through?
Gamma radiation is highly penetrative, and can pass through many substances without stopping. Several centimetres of lead or several meters of concrete is required to dissipate gamma radiation.
Will gamma rays passes through egg?
Yes, gamma rays will pass through an egg.
Do gamma rays pass through water?
Yes, they do.
How do gamma rays pass through the body?
gamma rays pass through the body by being absorbed by the skin and entering your body causing internal and external damage.

Can gamma rays pass through a wall?
Yes. Gamma rays are extremely penetrating as they have the highest energies in the EM spectrum. They will pass through the wall of a standard house with ease, and would require several metres of lead or concrete to be reduced.

What absorbs X-rays most effectively?
X-rays cannot pass through lead, and lead is what is used in X-ray shielding.
What do gamma rays damage?
Any tissue they pass through.
Which two types of radiation will pass through a sheet of card?
Gamma radiation
Can gamma rays and xrays pass through the human body?
Yes.
What type of radiation can easily pass through a human?
