Gamma rays can be difficult to fully block, as they are high-energy electromagnetic radiation; however, materials such as lead and concrete are effective at attenuating gamma rays. Thicker and denser materials provide better protection against gamma rays.

What materials X Rays and Gamma Rays can not penetrate?

X-rays and gamma rays can penetrate most materials, but they can be blocked by dense materials such as lead, concrete, or thick layers of steel. These materials are effective in shielding against X-rays and gamma rays due to their ability to absorb and scatter the radiation.


Does skin block gamma rays from getting in the body?

No. Gamma rays are similar to X-rays in that they can penetrate deep into the human body. Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation which is produced by the decay of some radioisotopes and from nuclear reactions. A form of radiation which will be blocked by the skin is alpha particles, which are helium nuclei.
