Nothing stops 'Gamma' rays, however you can block it with 1/2" of lead will prevent 1/2 of the radiation and then it will continue until it is and insignificant amount to record.

Hope this was helpful.

What can stop a gamma ray and how does it interact with matter?

Gamma rays can be stopped by dense materials such as lead or concrete. When gamma rays interact with matter, they can either be absorbed, scattered, or pass through without any interaction. Absorption occurs when the gamma ray transfers its energy to the atoms in the material, causing ionization and potentially damaging the cells in living organisms. Scattering happens when the gamma ray changes direction after colliding with an atom, while transmission occurs when the gamma ray passes through the material without being absorbed or scattered.


What will stop gamma rays?

Materials such as lead, concrete, and thick layers of water can effectively block or absorb gamma rays. These materials are dense and provide sufficient shielding to protect against gamma ray exposure. However, complete absorption may require a substantial thickness depending on the energy of the gamma rays.


What effect does losing a gamma ray have on the nucleus?

Losing a gamma ray does not change the number of protons or neutrons in the nucleus, so the nucleus remains the same element. However, the nucleus may be left in an excited state after emitting a gamma ray, and it typically returns to its ground state quickly by emitting the gamma ray.


What is the symbol and charge of a gamma ray?

The symbol for a gamma ray is γ, and its charge is neutral (0). Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted by the nucleus of an atom.


In what layer of the sun are gamma ray photons produced?

Gamma ray photons are produced in the core of the Sun through the process of nuclear fusion. The core is where the temperature and pressure are high enough to drive these reactions, leading to the release of gamma ray photons.

What nuclear decay have no mass and no charge?

Gamma decay involves the emission of a gamma ray, which is a high-energy photon with no charge and no mass.


Can gamma rays be stopped and how?

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".
