A one-meter-thick lead plate can provide protection from a, b, and radiation
What will be an ideal response?
Shielding does help. For this sort of shielding, a and b are completely absorbed.
Gamma radiation takes much more lead A typical radiation length (intensity falls to 1/e) is
about 0.56 cm. A one-meter-thick lead plate provides real protection.
