Error propagation
  • Assumed the photoelectrons distribution is a p.d.f therefore assumed error on the number of photoelectrons to be

  • Plot showing the data and the gaussian fit for micrometer setting of 4.00mm and 6.00mm:

  • Plot showing the error for Helium lamp at 6.0mm:

  • The table shows the $\chi ^2$ value, $N_{DOF}$ and the error on the location of the peak.

$4.00 \pm 1e-4$ 1310296.532 764 2.44
$6.00 \pm 1e-4$ 847762.900 764 2.79
  • Equation used for $\chi ^2$:

<
<		\chi ^2=\sum_{n=1}^{N}\frac{(x_i-\mu)^2}{\sigma_i^2}

  \end{equation} %ENDLATEX%
Changed:

  • Since the poisson distribution is assumed $\sigma ^2 = N_{PE} = \mu$.
>
>
  • $y_i$ is the observed value, $f(y_i,a,b,c)$ is the expected values, $\sigma$ is the error.
  • Since the poisson distribution is assumed $\sigma ^2 = N_{PE} = \mu$ where $\mu$ is the gaussian mean.
 
  • Therefore if it is a poisson distribution, the equation below is true.
\begin{equation} \sigma=\sqrt{\mu} \end{equation}
