The effect of distance

\label{distance}

In this first experiment we would like to understand how the measured counts depend on the distance between the source and the detector.

\begin{equation} \begin{array}{cc}\text{distance(cm)}&\text{mean(cts)/Dt}\\ 3&449.92\\ 4&172.92\\ 5&84.92\\ 6&49.02\\ 7&32.38\\ 8&21.82\\ 9&15.63\\ \end{array}\nonumber \\ \end{equation}
