Yes, although anyone who would attempt it deserves the prison cell they would soon find themselves in. Also, the metal so close to your body during an x-ray is likely to cause burns. You really want to reconsider this course of action if your are questionably considering itnow.

How can I Protect photo paper from x-rays?
Wrap the film in aluminum-foil.
Why did Rutherford do the gold foil experiment in a evacuated chamber?
Because he bombarded the alpha rays on thin foil of gold and alpha rays can not pass through air or gases.
Does aluminum foil block X-rays?
X-Rays normally detect foil because it is metal.
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.
Why did the ice cube directly under the light melt faster when it had no cover than when it was covered with aluminum foil?
The aluminum foil reflected the rays of the light, so without the foil the ice cube couldn't reflect any of the light's rays and that made it melt faster
How do radioactive nuclides affect photographic film wrapped in light proof paper?
Gamma radiation can easily pass through paper and cause fogging on film. This is radiation identical to light except it has higher frequency and energy, generally higher than x-rays.
What would cause aluminum foil to disintegrate in a convection oven?
Aluminium foil disintegrates in a convection oven because the heat rays of the oven hits the aluminium foil but gets reflected by the foil. Thus, the oven over heats and the aluminium foil disintegrates.
Can UV rays go through wax paper?
yes, but it drastically reduces them
Is beryllium a lightweight metal through which X-rays pass easily?
Yes, beryllium is transparent to x-rays; windows of x-rays tubes are made from a thin foil of beryllium.
What will happen to the structure of aluminium foil while x-rays pass through it?
aluminium structure will not change, x rays is spiltted into alpha beta gamma rays while it comes out of aluminium
Did Gold foil experiment supported the blueberry muffin model of the atom?
The blueberry muffin model said that the particles of the atom are evenly distributed through a positively charged medium. The gold foil experiment showed that some rays were deflected, indicating a mass capable of deflecting the rays projected through the gold foil, thus disproving the muffin model.
Is aluminum foil a better insulator alone or with bubble wrap?
Aluminum foil is a conductor. It really only insulates against radiative heat transfer by reflecting visible light rays or infrared heat rays. When wrapped around an object, pockets of air can act as insulation, but in this case it's the air that's doing the insulating-- not the foil. To answer the question, "it depends." Let's say you have a baked potato that you want to keep warm. First wrap in in foil so that the radiation coming off the potato is reflected back into the potato. Then wrap the potato in bubble wrap with the bubbles facing inward. This will trap any hot air that might surround the potato, preventing conductive and convective heat transfer. On the other hand, if you have a cold can of soda, and it's out in the sunlight, you'll want to first wrap the can in bubblewrap (bubbles facing the can) to trap the cool air and wrap foil around that to reflect any light rays. If the can is in a dark space, such as a lunch box or cooler, the aluminum foil will play a very small role in insulating it. The bubble wrap should go around the can (bubbles facing inward). The aluminum foil won't hurt as long as the foil does not touch the can. If it touches the can, it will conduct heat from the surroundings into the cold can.
