Finding uncertainty for varying error bars
Thanks haruspex for the reply. I'm not too sure what you mean by repeat data points according to the degree of uncertainty. The uncertainty for (1-cosθ) is simple, d(1-cosθ) = sinθ dθ, so the uncertainty increases with θ. I have taken results for 15°, 30°, 45°,... The uncertainty relationship...- joelwong

Finding uncertainty for varying error bars
Homework Statement I am currently doing an experiment on Compton scattering and have plotted a linear graph of 1/E' on (1-cos θ), where E' is the scattered gamma ray energy. My goal is to find the value of the gradient and y-intercept with their corresponding uncertainties. Instead of using the...- joelwong
