Pretty much anything, it would take a few metres depth of lead or some equally dense material to stop it.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Can gamma rays go through paper?
Yes, gamma rays can penetrate through paper. However, the thickness and density of the paper can impact how much of the gamma rays are able to pass through. Thicker and denser paper will block more gamma rays.
Which do you think will penetrate farther into a block of lead x-rays or gamma rays explain why?
Gamma radiation and x-radiation are identical if they both have the same wave length. The only difference between x-radiation and gamma radiation is that gamma radiation is produced by natural processes while x-radiation is man-made. The block of lead will not be able to tell the difference between the two sources and will attenuate both the same.
What can a gamma ray penetrate?
Yes, gamma rays will enter and also pass through less dense areas of your body. X-rays are gamma rays, and the reason they work is because denser areas of the body, like bone, block some of the gamma rays from getting to the x-ray film across from the emitter.
Does gamma rays have a high or low frequency?
Gamma rays have the highest frequency of all electromagnetic radiation. They have wavelengths shorter than ultraviolet rays and X-rays, making them a form of ionizing radiation that can penetrate deeply into materials.
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
Do red light penetrate most than gamma why?
Red light does not penetrate more than 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.
Can gamma rays go through paper?
Yes, gamma rays can penetrate through paper. However, the thickness and density of the paper can impact how much of the gamma rays are able to pass through. Thicker and denser paper will block more gamma rays.
Can gamma rays hurt us?
Yes. Gamma rays hurt us because they penetrate our skin. They can also be used to cure cancer(chemotherapy).
Which is the most penetrating rays x-rays or gamma rays?
Gamma rays are the most penetration rays because of its shortest wave length...
What form of ionizing radiatin can penetrate deeply into body tissue?
Gamma radiation, X Rays
Are gamma rays blocked by the atmosphere?
Yes, a majority of gamma rays are blocked by the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere acts as a shield against the harmful effects of gamma rays by absorbing and scattering them. Only a small fraction of gamma rays from space can penetrate into Earth's atmosphere.
What are gamma and x-rays?
Gamma and x-rays are two types of rays on the electro magnetic spectrum. The amount of energy used by the rays increases as you go up the electro magnetic spectrum. The weakest of the rays is a radio wave and the strongest is the gamma which will penetrate lead.
What form of ionizing radiation can penetrate deeply into tissues?
Gamma radiation, X Rays
What form of radiation can penetrate deeply into body tissue?
Gamma radiation, X Rays
