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...
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...
