Gamma Gamma rays Rays

AI Thread Summary

Gamma rays can be stopped or absorbed using dense materials, and lead glass is one such transparent option. Lead glass effectively attenuates gamma radiation while allowing visibility. Resources like AEC Info and Raybar provide information on lead glass products designed for radiation shielding. The discussion emphasizes the importance of finding materials that balance transparency with radiation protection. Understanding the properties of lead glass can aid in applications requiring both visibility and gamma ray attenuation.

Here is a question I have for you. Is there a way to stop gamma rays through a dense material that is transparent? If so what is this transparent material? Can someone help?

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Linear generator prototype'

i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing , The core is PLA material (3d printed) The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm
