    It was snow, there were higher levels of UV detected because the snow reflects more back into the dummy's eyes. . . I think.
    Crap! I lost one mark there then!! *******

    I drew the analogue graph as an alternating current graph, but I drew the digital graph as bar chart graph (as in I drew it properly with spaces between bars). Would I lose 1 mark then for drawing the incorrect analogue graph?

    But if it reflects off the surface then it I'd more likely to hit the person so I put snow. What was the independent variable. Was it the dummy changing sides or he surface ?

    I didn't think you had to draw graphs. Just a random squiggly line for analogue to show variation, and a Rectangle up and down line for digital to show 0 and 1 positions.

    Or am I wrong?

    Probably just one. Did you need to add labels? I did just to make sure.

    Independent variable was surface, I guess, it seemed the point of the investigation to find out which surface reflected more. And I'm pretty sure it was snow. P.S nice phone

    Yeah I meant in the box... it didn't have to be a full graph with axes such and such - just a normal line or rough sketch of what it is...

    To clarify the analogue was just a graph with varying amplitude and the digital was straight same height like lines with discrete values

    Anyone get cobalt 60 as the material to irradiate food with?

    Also, did everyone get UVC as the UV radiation that doesn't harm human eyes and skin?

    I DID! because gamma can pass through packaging and it had a fairly long halflife and it was the least ionising but im not too sure about the ionising part :s
