escaping the sun

A. Photon # layers Interactions
5 24
10 157 as the number of layers increased
15 174 so did the number of interactioins
20 479
25 947

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

c. ev nm photons sent photons detected
1.5 828 15 14 the wavelength goes down. it
1.8 690 15 8 also goes down.
2 621 15 13
2.3 540 15 11
2.5 497 15 11

d. wavelength gas atoms photons sent photons detected
2.2 565 O 15 14
2.2 565 Mg 15 13
2.2 565 Na 15 9
2.2 565 Ca 15 13
2.2 565 H 15 11

It didn't have much of an effect of the number detected.
