To plot a graph of sin⁡2θ\sin^2 \theta on the vertical axis against 1h\frac{1}{h} on the horizontal axis, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the data*.

    From your experimental readings (obtained in steps 9 and 10), you will have pairs of values for θ\theta and hh. For each pair, calculate sin⁡θ\sin \theta, then sin⁡2θ\sin^2 \theta. Also, calculate 1h\frac{1}{h}.

  2. Choose appropriate scales for the axes*.

    Examine the range of your calculated sin⁡2θ\sin^2 \theta values and 1h\frac{1}{h} values. Select a scale for the vertical axis (for sin⁡2θ\sin^2 \theta) and a scale for the horizontal axis (for 1h\frac{1}{h}) such that the plotted points occupy most of the graph paper.

  3. Label the axes*.

    Label the vertical axis as sin⁡2θ\sin^2 \theta and the horizontal axis as 1h\frac{1}{h}. Include any relevant units if θ\theta or hh had units that affect the final calculated values (e.g., if hh was in cm, then 1h\frac{1}{h} would be in cm−1\text{cm}^{-1}).

  4. Plot the points*.

    For each pair of calculated values (1h,sin⁡2θ)(\frac{1}{h}, \sin^2 \theta), mark a small cross (x) or a dot with a circle around it on the graph paper.

  5. Draw the line of best fit*.

    Using a ruler, draw a straight line or a smooth curve that passes as close as possible to most of the plotted points. This line should represent the general trend of the data.

  6. Add a title to the graph*.

    Give your graph a clear and concise title, such as "Graph of sin⁡2θ\sin^2 \theta versus 1h\frac{1}{h}".
