I think you just read the graph. For what values of the x-axis do we have a reading?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesnt say

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Owait. When a photon is absorbed, we will not detect it. So what the machine does not detect have been absorbed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

OK see it this way: You have 20 labeled cows. The question says some of your cows were eaten. And so you do a count and looked for your cows and you get the graph. So which cows were eaten?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the grean and blue?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

You see the green and blue cows. That's why the graph says there's something there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would i t be B?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

But you also see the cows labeled 1, 3, 4, and 6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

So they weren't eaten...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that isnt the answer

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Nope. What cows don't you see? They're the ones eaten

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Yeah :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):
