Radiation can be stopped or attenuated by materials such as lead, concrete, water, or even air. The effectiveness of the barrier depends on the type of radiation, its energy level, and the thickness of the shielding material.
Gamma radiation can be stopped by dense materials such as lead, concrete, or thick layers of water. These materials absorb and block the harmful effects of gamma radiation by interacting with and attenuating the radiation.
Alpha radiation is typically stopped by a sheet of paper while beta radiation can be blocked by skin. These types of radiation have lower penetrative power compared to gamma radiation, which requires thicker materials like lead or concrete to block effectively.
Gamma radiation is stopped by dense materials such as lead or concrete, which absorb and block the radiation, preventing it from penetrating through.
Alpha particles can be stopped by a piece of metal foil due to their relatively low penetration power. This is because alpha particles have a large mass and charge, making them more likely to collide with the atoms in the metal foil and be absorbed.
Alpha radiation can be stopped by paper because alpha particles are large and heavy, which makes them easier to block. Paper is thick enough to absorb the particles before they can penetrate through.
The UV radiation is stopped. These are high wavelength radiations.
The radiation of sun that is stopped by ozone layer is UV. This radiation can cause cataract and skin cancer.
No, gamma rays are not stopped by an electric field.
no x-ray or gamma ray radiation can be stopped or diluted by air. if that was the truth, a greater portion of the radiation would be stopped (absorbed, destroyed ) by atmospheric air in Chernobil's incidence. Radiation from Ukraine reached to Greece, Sweden and to many other places!
Gamma radiation can be stopped by dense materials such as lead, concrete, or thick layers of water. These materials absorb and block the harmful effects of gamma radiation by interacting with and attenuating the radiation.
Yes, Alpha radiation could be stopped by normal paper.
Alpha radiation is typically stopped by a sheet of paper while beta radiation can be blocked by skin. These types of radiation have lower penetrative power compared to gamma radiation, which requires thicker materials like lead or concrete to block effectively.
It depends on the type of radiation. Alpha can be stopped with a few inches of air, or even a sheet of paper. Beta can be stopped with a sheet of metal. Gamma and neutron takes lead and/or concrete, sometimes several feet. Neutrinos can hardly be stopped by anything - they travel through the Earth with ease.

To stop radiation leaking out. Alpha and Beta types of radiation will be stopped by the concrete
Alpha radiation can be stopped by paper because alpha particles are large and heavy, which makes them easier to block. Paper is thick enough to absorb the particles before they can penetrate through.
