Uncertainty in Measurement - When dealing with objects that can be counted, one can always get an exact answer. But while measuring the weight of a person, the volume of milk in a container, the length of a cloth etc. it is not possible to measure them exactl..

All moving objects in our daily life have well defined paths or trajectories. The path or trajectory of an object can be determined by knowing its position and velocity at various intervals of time. However, Werner Heisenberg, in 1927, pointed out that we can never measure accuratel..

To determine the position of an object, we must be able to see the object. This can be done with the help of light of suitable wavelength. When a beam of light falls on an object, the photons of this incident light are scattered by the object and the reflected light enters our eye. Now, if the obje..

It should be borne in mind that the uncertainty is not due to lack of sufficiently refined techniques but it is due to the fact that one cannot observe microscopic things without disturbing them. No instrument can observe the position of an electron without affecting its motion. In ..

Henry performs a turbidity test in an Environmental Laboratory and records the results in his lab report. The standard deviation of his lab measurements is σ = 1.6 NTU (Naphlametric Turbidity Units). Henry repeats the measurement 5 times and records the mean x &O..

Physical Quantities and their Measurement - The development of chemistry is based upon the systematic approach of the scientists in carrying out different experiments. Scientific theories, inferences and generalizations are made on the observations recorded. The quantitative information i..
