1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
The data obtained in the experiment is in the graph

My teacher says that do a linear energy calibration for photopeaks.


3. The attempt at a solution
A photopeak seems to be a peak caused by the emission of photons only.
My attempt is in the image. I assume that the two last peaks are photopeaks.

How would you do the linear energy calibration for the photopeaks of Co60?
