1. Homework Statement
A piece of work I am doing for college (UK college that is) has me investigating the inverse square law for gamma radiation. I have collected data and the graph comes out looking right. I want to create a linearised graph of the data to investigate the results further. If I did this, what process would I run the results through, and what would the graph (e.g. gradient and points where the graph crosses the axes) tell me?
To cut it short, if one was to linearise an inverse square law graph, how would one do it, and what would this linearised graph show?
Intensity = S/(4πr^2)
