Gamma radiation is the fastest type of radiation because it consists of high-energy electromagnetic waves. These waves have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, allowing them to travel at the speed of light and penetrate materials easily.

What material stops gamma radiation and how effective is it in shielding against this type of radiation?

Lead is a common material that effectively stops gamma radiation. It is highly effective in shielding against this type of radiation due to its density and ability to absorb and block the gamma rays.


Is gamma not considered a type of radiation ray?

Actually, gamma is the ONLY type of radiation ray. Since the three types of radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays, and the other two are particles, technically, gamma rays are the only radiation rays. If that is not what you are looking for, then I recommend rephrasing your question.
