On studying the Electronic and Atomic Cross sectional area for low atomic masses (Carbon, Aluminum, Iron and Zinc) using Klien-Nishina differential equation. The atomic cross section among these elements for same energy of incidence photon the atomic cross section area found on order of Carbon Aluminum Iron Zinc. This show with increasing atomic number and mass the cross section area of material goes increase. But the mass attenuation goes decrease with increasing in mass and number of materials made up of high atomic weight and number. This is clearly seen in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. Therefore, among these elements protective material is made up of Carbon has more safety than other (Al, Fe, Zn).

Keywords: Cross sectional Area, Low atomic masses, Photon, Material, Elements etc.
