Hi,
I know that this is my first post, but please help me! I am having trouble with the following question
"The following data was collected from an experiment to measure the gamma ray count-rate at different distances from a sample of cobalt-60 The background count was measured five times. Background count (per minute) = 12, 14, 10, 15, 12.
Count (per minute) 413 161 92 60 43 35 26
Distance between source and detector (cm) 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 7.0 8.0
Plot a suitable graph to verify the inverse square law and use the graph to estimate the extra distance, d, between the source and the detector."
i have plotted the graph, but i am unsure on have to calculate the extra distance using it.
Thank you so much for all your help!
