Lead can stop gamma particles really fast because it is so dense. Gamma particles can also be reduced by water.

No there is no material discovered which can stop the penetration of gamma radiations


What one of these is not particle proton neutron alpha gamma ray or a beta particle?

The gamma ray is not a particle but is just an EM wave that transmits energy.


What is gamma particle symbolized by?

γ (gamma) is a photon.


Nuclear radiation ranked from the greatest mass to the least mass is a- Xray gamma ray beta particle b- Xray beta particle gamma ray c- Alpha particle beta particle gamma ray d Beta alpha gamma?

The correct order is c) Alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray. Alpha particles have the greatest mass, followed by beta particles, and then gamma rays which have no mass.


What material will stop a gamma rays?

Lead, concrete, and steel are commonly used materials that can effectively stop gamma rays. Lead is especially efficient in absorbing gamma rays due to its high density. Generally, the thicker the material, the more effective it will be in stopping gamma rays.


Which radioactive emissions is not a particle Alpha Neutron or Gamma?

Gamma.


How much lead is needed to effectively stop gamma rays?

Lead is a dense material that is effective at stopping gamma rays. To effectively stop gamma rays, a thickness of at least 1.3 centimeters of lead is typically needed.


What material could possibly stop alpha gamma and beta radiation?

paper and flesh


Can paper stop gamma rays?

Paper is not effective at stopping gamma rays as they are highly penetrating electromagnetic radiation. Materials such as lead or concrete are more effective at blocking gamma rays due to their higher density.


Which is larger antineutrino alpha particle beta particle or gamma radiation?

Gamma radiation is the most energetic and penetrating of the options provided, followed by the alpha particle, beta particle, and antineutrino, in descending order.


Which of these masses is the largest alpha particle antineutrino gamma radiation beta particle?

Alpha Particle


Is beta faster then gamma?

No. There's a reason that a beta particle can only penetrate a couple of mm and that a gamma particle can go through everything.
