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 else can I help you with?
Is gamma radiation stopped by an electric field?
No, gamma rays are not stopped by an electric field.
How can a gamma be stopped?
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.
Which rays can not be stopped by thick sheets of lead?
gamma rays
Can gamma rays be stopped by a thick sheet of lead?
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.
What stops gamma rays from penetrating through materials?
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.
Can gamma be stopped by paper?
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.
What are best protection of gama rays?
concrete or thick led. gamma rays cant be stopped they go on for millions of years.
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
Which form of radiation will be stopped by a thick layer of concrete or a thick layer of lead?
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.
How do you stop gamma rays from penetrating through materials?
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.
What can stop gamma decay from occurring?
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.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
