Long sightedness is a common vision condition in which nearby objects are blurry.

 

In this situation, the person with this condition of the eye where the curvature of the cornea is flat or the axial length of the eyeball is short. When light enters the eye, it does not focus directly on the retina, but focuses beyond the retina. This causes near images to appear out of focus and blurred.

A) Lead B) Steal
C) Concrete D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 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.
