Escaping the Sun

A. # of layers interactions
5 24
10 157
15 174
20 479
25 947
As the number of layers increased so did the number of interactions

B. # of layers interactions
5 31
10 106
15 233
20 433
25 706
the data is about the same. The data is more accurate because there were more photons and it took the average number of interactions

C. ev nm photons sent photons detected
1.5 828 15 14
1.8 690 15 82.0 621 15 13
2.3 540 15 11
2.5 497 15 11
the wavelength goes down. the number of photons detected also goes down

D. ev nm gas atoms photons sent photons detected
2.2 565 O 15 14
2.2 565 Mg 15 132.2 565 Na 15 9
2.2 565 Ca 15 13
2.2 565 H 15 11
it didn't have much of an effect on the number of photons detected

Worked with Billy and Devon
