  • Question
  • For Gamma radiation, what stops its penetrating abilities?


  • Options
  • A. Lead
  • B. Steal
  • C. Concrete
  • D. All of the above

  • Correct Answer
  • All of the above 

    Explanation

    The highly energetic gamma particles can penetrate most compounds that stop by other types of radiation. However, lead, steel, or concrete can reduce the high energy of these particles, making them less penetrating.

     

    Hence, Gamma radiation can be stopped by a several inches of lead or steel, or several meters of concrete.
