at what distances you want to take the measurements. Is taking them

- \item Make a plot of the corrected radiation measured from the lamp versus the inverse square of the distance from the lamp to the sensor $(1/x^2)$ and do a linear fit to the data. How good is the fit? Is this data linear over the entire range of distances? Comment on any discrepancies. What is the uncertainty on the slope? What intercept do you expect? Comment on these values and their uncertainties?

\item Does radiation from the lamp follow the inverse square law? Can the lamp be considered a point source? If not, how could this affect your measurements?
