Thickness of hair

Submitted by angelasalaza on Wed, 09/26/2018 - 19:42

The null hypothesis for this lab is that hair measurement between the caliper measurement and double slit measurement does not match. An alternative hypothesis is that the hair measurement between the two data collections do match. The better method to determine accurate hair thickness is to use the caliper, a tool used for measuring external and internal dimension. The accuracy given by the caliper measurement gives a significant number of 0.01mm this set of measurement is defined as a better method because it has a value with more significant figures the double slit method provided inaccuracy due to the location of the hair strand. Factors that contribute to the uncertainty of the hair’s position are the tilt of the projector’s screen and how the strand of hair is taped against the light projection. The tilt of the projector screen showed the uncertainty is 0.05 mm because the hair is taped against the light projection, the uncertainty was predicted to be less than 0.02 mm.

In this sentence, I think putting a period after figures would make it easier to understand, then start the rest of the sentence as its own.

My only critique is that too many sentences start with "The" which feels repetative. Try mixing it up and moving around certain words in your sentences to make it sound better and prevent such repetition!
