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".
No, gamma rays are not stopped by an electric field.
Gamma rays can be stopped by dense materials such as lead or concrete. These materials absorb the gamma rays and reduce their energy, eventually stopping them. The thickness of the material required to stop gamma rays depends on the energy of the gamma rays.

Yes, gamma rays can be stopped by a thick sheet of lead. Lead is a dense material that is effective at absorbing gamma radiation. The amount of lead required to fully block gamma rays depends on the energy of the rays.
Gamma rays are stopped from penetrating through materials by the dense atomic structure of the material, which absorbs and scatters the gamma rays, preventing them from passing through.
Yes, gamma rays can be partially absorbed by materials such as paper. However, depending on the energy of the gamma rays, thicker or denser materials like lead or concrete are more effective at stopping them.
concrete or thick led. gamma rays cant be stopped they go on for millions of years.
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
Gamma rays and X-rays will pass right through paper (which will stop alpha rays) and aluminum sheets (that will stop beta rays), but can be stopped by a thick layer of concrete, lead, or other substances having sufficient mass.
Gamma rays can be stopped or reduced by using dense materials such as lead or concrete, which absorb and block the rays. Thicker layers of these materials provide more protection against gamma rays. Additionally, using shielding materials specifically designed to block gamma rays, such as lead-lined walls or specialized glass, can also help prevent penetration.
Gamma decay can be stopped by dense materials such as lead or concrete, which absorb and block the high-energy gamma rays emitted during the decay process.
