Coan Version: 20 Jul 99 Introduction Physics makes both general and detailed statements about the physical universe. These statements are organized in such a way that they provide a model or a kind of coherent picture about how and why the universe works the way it does. These sets of statements are called theories and are much more than a simple list of facts and figures like you might find in an almanac or a telephone book. (Even though almanacs and telephone books are quite useful!) A good physics theory is far more interested in principles than simple facts. Noting that the moon appears regularly in the night sky is far less interesting than understanding why it does so. We have confidence that a particular physics theory is telling us something interesting about the physical universe because we are able to test quantitatively its predictions or statements about the universe. Indeed, all physics (and scientific) theories have this put up or shut up quality to them. For something to be called a physics theory in the first place, it must make quantitative statements about the universe that can be then quantitatively tested. These tests are called experiments. The statement, My girlfriend is the most charming woman in the world, however true it may be, has no business being in a physics theory because it simply cannot be quantitatively tested. If the experimental measurements are performed correctly and the observations are inconsistent with the theory, then at least some portion of the theory is wrong and needs to be modified. Yet, consistency between the theoretical predictions and the experimental observations never decisively proves a theory true. It is always possible that a more comprehensive theory can be developed which will also be consistent with these same experimental observations. Physicists, as well as other scientists, give a kind of provisional assent to their theories, however successfully they might agree with experimental observation. Comfortably working with uncertainty is a professional necessity for them. Making careful quantitative measurements are important if we want to claim that a particular physics theory explains something about the world around us. Measurements represent some physical quantity. For example, 2.1 meter represents a distance, 7 kilograms represents a mass and 9.3 seconds represents a time. Notice that each of these quantities has a number like 9.3 and a unit, seconds. The number tells you the amount and the unit tells you the thing that you are talking about, in this case seconds. Both the number and the unit are required to specify a measured quantity. Precision There is a certain inherent inaccuracy or variation in the measurements we make in the laboratory. This inherent inaccuracy or variation is called experimental error and the word is not meant to imply incompetence on the part of the experimenter. Error merely reflects the condition that our measuring instruments are imperfect. This lack of perfection in our measuring procedure is to be contrasted with mistakes like adding two numbers incorrectly or incorrectly writing down a number from an instrument. Those mistakes have nothing to do with what I mean by experimental error and everything to do with the competence of the experimenter! Understanding and quantifying measurement error is important in experimental science because it is a measure of how seriously we should believe (or not believe) our theories abut how the world works. If I measure my mass to be 120.317 kilograms, that is a very precise measurement because it is very specific. It also happens to be a very inaccurate measurement because I am not quite that fat. My mass is considerably less, something like 85 kilograms. So, when we say that we have made a precise measurement we can also say that we have made a very specific measurement. When we say we have made an accurate measurement we can also say that we have made a correct measurement. When we make measurements in the laboratory we should therefore distinguish between the precision and the accuracy of these measurements. The so-called number of significant figures that it contains indicates the precision of a measurement. In our mass example, the quantity 120.317 kilograms has 6 significant figures. This is rather precise as measurements go and is considerably more precise than anything you will measure in this course. Again, the fact that a measurement is precise does not make it accurate, just specific. In any event, it is useful to be familiar with how to recognize the number of significant figures in a number. The technique is this: The leftmost non-zero digit is the most significant digit; If there is no decimal point, the rightmost non-zero digit is the least significant; If there is a decimal point, the rightmost digit is the least significant, even if it is zero. All digits between the least significant and the most significant (inclusive) are themselves significant. For example, the following four numbers have 4 significant figures: 2,314 2,314,000 2.314 9009 9.009 0.000009009 9.000 No physical measurement is completely exact or even completely precise. The apparatus or the skill of the observer always limits accuracy and precision. For example, often physical measurements are made by reading a scale of some sort (ruler, thermometer, dial gauge, etc.). The fineness of the scale markings is limited and the width of the scale lines is greater than zero. In every case the final figure of the reading must be estimated and is therefore somewhat inaccurate. This last figure does indeed contain some useful information about the measured quantity, uncertain as it is. A significant figure is one that is reasonably trustworthy. One and only one estimated or uncertain figure should be retained and used in a measurement. This figure is the least significant figure. It is also important to understand approximately the magnitude of the uncertainty so that you can state it with the measurement. For example, a length measurement of 2.500 meters (4 significant figures) is one digit less uncertain that a measurement of 2.50 meters (3 significant figures). If your measuring instrument is capable of 4 digit precision then you can distinguish between an item 2.500 meters long and one 2.501 meters long. If your instrument were precise to only 3 significant figures, then both items would appear to be 2.50 meters long and you could not distinguish between them. Again, infinite precision is not possible. All instruments have limits. It is important to know how much precision your instrument is capable of. For example, it would be silly to measure something with a toy ruler and then announce that the object was 9.3756283 centimeters long. Error Perhaps you have had the experience of measuring something multiple times and not quite getting the same answer for each measurement. Your measured value could be a bit high or a bit low of the correct value. Perhaps you notice that the variations in your measurements have no fixed or predictable pattern. Your measured value could be as likely to be a bit too high as to be a bit to low. This variation in the measured quantity is called a random error. Indeed, with random errors an individual measurement of an object is just as likely to be a bit too high as to be a bit too low. For example, using a ruler often produces random errors because you will not consistently get the rulers zero line exactly aligned with the edge of the measured object every time you make a measurement. Measurements may display good precision but yet be very inaccurate. Often, you may find that your measurements are usually consistently too high or too low from the accurate value. The measurements are systematically wrong. For example, weighing yourself with a scale that has a bad spring inside of it will yield weight measurements that are inaccurate, either too high or too low, even though the weight measurements may seem reasonable. You might, for example, notice that you seem to gain weight after Thanksgiving holiday and lose weight after being ill. These observations may in fact be true but the actual value for your weight will be inaccurate. This is an example of a systematic error. Your measurements are systematically wrong. It is often very difficult to catch systematic errors and usually requires that you understand carefully the workings of your measuring devices. Since we dont normally know the true value of the quantity we are measuring, (otherwise why would we need to measure it?), we need some way to estimate how reliable our measurements are. That is, we need some measure of the error or uncertainty in our measurements. If someone asks us to measure the distance between the Earth and the Sun, they will also be interested in knowing how accurately we think we know our answer. We need to be able to give them an answer in a compact form that indicates our best estimate and our uncertainty in that estimate:  EMBED Equation.2 . Estimating the uncertainty or error which is a measure of the precision of our measurement is usually the hard part and what we concentrate on now. One way of estimating the precision of our measurements of some quantity is to measure the quantity many times and then use the data to estimate how precise our measurement is. This procedure works well if the errors in our individual measurements are random, i.e., if they are just as likely to be too high above the true value as too low. The procedure is tedious to describe in words but very easy with symbols. Well use words first to show you the advantage of using symbols. We begin by making multiple measurements  EMBED Equation.2  EQ , where the subscript i labels a particular measurement of the quantity (i = 1 if we are talking about the first measurement or i = 5 if we are talking about the 5th measurement, and so on). We then form the average  EMBED Equation.2 of all the measurements. Next, we sum up the square of the difference between  EMBED Equation.2  and all the  EMBED Equation.2 s. Continuing, we divide this sum by N 1, where N is the total number of measurements we made. Finally, we take the square root of this number to find the number we really care about. Summarizing, and this time using only symbols, we have   The symbol  EMBED Equation.2  is called the variance of the mean and its square root ( (the standard deviation of the mean) is the number we are interested in. The value of ( is what we would substitute for (x above. It summarizes the variation or spread in our data when we make multiple measurements of the same quantity. It is a measure of the precision or uncertainty of our final answer  EMBED Equation.2 . Large values of ( mean our individual measurements varied substantially as we made them over and over again. In such a case we do not expect that our final answer will be particularly precise. Conversely, if ( is small, our individual measurements varied little. This is easy to see by looking at the numerator for our formula for  EMBED Equation.2 . The formula tells us to subtract the values of our individual measurements from the average for all the measurements and then add all these differences. So, if all our measurements are nearly the same, then the average for the measurements will not be very different from any individual measurement. The numerical value of the numerator will be small and so will  EMBED Equation.2 . Notice also that we divide the numerator by N 1 so that the entire fraction is a kind of average deviation of the individual measurements from the mean of the measurements. From this you can see why ( is baptized the standard deviation of the mean. Although a bit tedious, the above procedure for estimating the uncertainty ( in our final answer is straightforward. But what do you do if you know or can estimate the uncertainties in individual measurements? For example, suppose you can measure lengths to a precision of +/- 3 mm. You measure the length of some quantity many times and now you want to make a statement about the uncertainty in your value of  EMBED Equation.2 . You might think that you ought to be able to make use of this knowledge of the uncertainty of an individual measurement. You are correct. To get the uncertainty in your final answer, you need to add the uncertainties in the individual measurements. But, you need to add them in a special way. Specifically, you compute the sum  EMBED Equation.2 , where the  EMBED Equation.2  are the uncertainties in the individual measurements. In words, this formula says to add the squares of the reciprocals of the individual uncertainties. This may seem like a perverse way to proceed but it is actually quite sensible. If a particular measurement has a very large uncertainty (because you forgot to turn on part of the measuring device), and then you do not expect this particular measurement to be very useful for finding your final answer. Well, the above formula tells you this. If you take the reciprocal of a large number then you will get a small number. Adding a small number to some other number doesnt always change the original number very much so in some cases you can just neglect the small number. Remember that what you really care about ultimately is the uncertainty in your final answer and that is given by (. Either one of our computational recipes is appropriate for doing todays lab. Odds and Ends Taking the mean (average) value for a set of measurements is a good way of reducing the effects of random errors and is the preferred way to get your value for  EMBED Equation.2 . As you increase the number of measurements, the mean value of these measurements will more closely resemble the actual value of the quantity you are trying to measure, assuming there are no systematic errors present. This is because you are just as likely to measure a value that is slightly too high as one that is too low, so that the random errors will average themselves out. The magnitude of the relative errors for the individual measurements gives you an idea of the uncertainty in your value. Averaging your measurements will not help you when there are systematic errors present. In fact, there is no standard way to deal with systematic measurements, which is why they are so troublesome. There is a final aspect of measurement that you should be aware of. We need to be specific about what exactly it is we are trying to measure. For example, in our weight example above, does it mean with or without clothes? At what time of day? Before or after a meal? You should be clear about the meaning of the quantity you are trying to measure so that people can accurately interpret the significance of your results. Summary Questions What is the difference between accuracy and precision and why is this difference significant? How many significant figures are in 13600? 0.12040? 00045? What distinguishes a random error from a systematic error? What is the point of making multiple measurements of the same quantity before making a final statement about the numerical value of that quantity? Objectives To see how measurements and error analysis are a fundamental part of experimental science. To make some actual measurements and analyze the errors in them. To observe and understand the difference between accuracy and precision. To understand the nature of random and systematic errors. Equipment Candle, ruler, special ruler, paper with closed curves, metal rod, material to be weighed (dry ice and alcohol) and triple beam balance. Procedure Measure the length of the metal rods. Using only the special ruler, measure the length of each piece 5 times. When you are finished, average the values to get a better measure of the pieces true length. Next, use your plastic ruler to measure your pieces again. Measure 5 times as before and compute the average to refine your measured value. Make an eyeball estimate of your uncertainties. Measure the height of the candle flame. Light your candle and let the flame burn steadily for a minute or so. Use the plastic ruler to measure the height of the flame. Make 10 measurements and try not to melt the ruler. Hold the ruler a small distance away from the flame. Record your measurements. Estimate for each measurement its  EMBED Equation.2 . Identify the technique you used to find the uncertainty ( of your final answer. Remember to write only a sensible number of significant figures. Measure your reaction time. Your reaction time is the time that passes between some external stimulus and your first action. We will use an old method to measure your reaction time. A falling ruler will suffice. This is what to do. Have your partner hold the regular ruler vertically, holding it by the top and having the zero point toward the bottom. Place your thumb and forefinger at the rulers bottom, surrounding the zero point. Be prepared to pinch the ruler as if it were to fall. Rest your forearm on the lab table to steady your hand. Your partner will drop the ruler without warning. Pinch and grab the falling ruler as fast as you can. Record the distance the ruler fell. This will tell you your reaction time. Compute your reaction time using Galileos formula:  EMBED Equation.2 . The meaning of the symbols will be explained in lab. Make 5 measurements and record the corresponding reaction times. Record your reaction times on your data sheet. Do not mix your times with your partners. This means you will make 5 measurements per person. Compute and record the individual  EMBED Equation.2 s for each measurement. Identify the technique you used to find the uncertainty ( of your final answer. Be sure that both you and your lab partner have your reaction times measured. Measure the diameter of a closed curve. Measure the diameter of the large closed curve. Measure this curve diameter across 6 different diameters of the curve. Record your measurements. Compute the average diameter. Estimate for each measurement its  EMBED Equation.2 . Identify the technique you used to find the uncertainty ( of your final answer. Remember to write only a sensible number of significant figures. Measure the mass of a cold material. Go to the instructors table with your partner, where you will be given a cup containing some alcohol and some crushed dry ice. Using the balance on the instructors table, measure and record the mass of the cup 6 times, at 1 minute intervals. Warning: The dry ice and alcohol mixture is quite cold. If you stick your fingers in the mixture you will feel much pain. Measurement and Measurement Error PHYS 1313 Prof. T. E.

We have confidence that a particular physics theory is telling us something interesting about the physical universe because we are able to test quantitatively its predictions or statements about the universe. Indeed, all physics (and scientific) theories have this  put up or shut up quality to them. For something to be called a physics  theory  in the first place, it must make quantitative statements about the universe that can be then quantitatively tested. These tests are called  experiments . The statement,  My girlfriend is the most charming woman in the world, however true it may be, has no business being in a physics theory because it simply cannot be quantitatively tested.

Physicists, as well as other scientists, give a kind of provisional assent to their theories, however successfully they might agree with experimental observation. Comfortably working with uncertainty is a professional necessity for them. Making careful quantitative measurements are important if we want to claim that a particular physics theory explains something about the world around us. Measurements represent some physical quantity. For example, 2.1 meter represents a distance, 7 kilograms represents a mass and 9.3 seconds represents a time. Notice that each of these quantities has a number like 9.3 and a unit,  seconds . The number tells you the amount and the unit tells you the thing that you are talking about, in this case seconds. Both the number and the unit are required to specify a measured quantity. Precision There is a certain inherent inaccuracy or variation in the measurements we make in the laboratory. This inherent inaccuracy or variation is called experimental  error and the word is not meant to imply incompetence on the part of the experimenter. Error merely reflects the condition that our measuring instruments are imperfect. This lack of perfection in our measuring procedure is to be contrasted with mistakes like adding two numbers incorrectly or incorrectly writing down a number from an instrument. Those mistakes have nothing to do with what I mean by experimental error and everything to do with the competence of the experimenter! Understanding and quantifying measurement error is important in experimental science because it is a measure of how seriously we should believe (or not believe) our theories abut how the world works. If I measure my mass to be 120.317 kilograms, that is a very precise measurement because it is very specific. It also happens to be a very inaccurate measurement because I am not quite that fat. My mass is considerably less, something like 85 kilograms. So, when we say that we have made a precise measurement we can also say that we have made a very specific measurement. When we say we have made an accurate measurement we can also say that we have made a correct measurement. When we make measurements in the laboratory we should therefore distinguish between the precision and the accuracy of these measurements. The so-called number of significant figures that it contains indicates the precision of a measurement. In our mass example, the quantity 120.317 kilograms has 6 significant figures. This is rather precise as measurements go and is considerably more precise than anything you will measure in this course. Again, the fact that a measurement is precise does not make it accurate, just specific. In any event, it is useful to be familiar with how to recognize the number of significant figures in a number. The technique is this: The leftmost non-zero digit is the most significant digit; If there is no decimal point, the rightmost non-zero digit is the least significant; If there is a decimal point, the rightmost digit is the least significant, even if it is zero. All digits between the least significant and the most significant (inclusive) are themselves significant. For example, the following four numbers have 4 significant figures: 2,314 2,314,000 2.314 9009 9.009 0.000009009 9.000 No physical measurement is completely exact or even completely precise. The apparatus or the skill of the observer always limits accuracy and precision. For example, often physical measurements are made by reading a scale of some sort (ruler, thermometer, dial gauge, etc.). The fineness of the scale markings is limited and the width of the scale lines is greater than zero. In every case the final figure of the reading must be estimated and is therefore somewhat inaccurate. This last figure does indeed contain some useful information about the measured quantity, uncertain as it is. A significant figure is one that is reasonably trustworthy. One and only one estimated or uncertain figure should be retained and used in a measurement. This figure is the least significant figure. It is also important to understand approximately the magnitude of the uncertainty so that you can state it with the measurement. For example, a length measurement of 2.500 meters (4 significant figures) is one digit less uncertain that a measurement of 2.50 meters (3 significant figures). If your measuring instrument is capable of 4 digit precision then you can distinguish between an item 2.500 meters long and one 2.501 meters long. If your instrument were precise to only 3 significant figures, then both items would appear to be 2.50 meters long and you could not distinguish between them. Again, infinite precision is not possible. All instruments have limits. It is important to know how much precision your instrument is capable of. For example, it would be silly to measure something with a toy ruler and then announce that the object was 9.3756283 centimeters long. Error Perhaps you have had the experience of measuring something multiple times and not quite getting the same answer for each measurement. Your measured value could be a bit high or a bit low of the correct value. Perhaps you notice that the variations in your measurements have no fixed or predictable pattern. Your measured value could be as likely to be a bit too high as to be a bit to low. This variation in the measured quantity is called a random error. Indeed, with random errors an individual measurement of an object is just as likely to be a bit too high as to be a bit too low. For example, using a ruler often produces random errors because you will not consistently get the ruler s zero line exactly aligned with the edge of the measured object every time you make a measurement. Measurements may display good precision but yet be very inaccurate. Often, you may find that your measurements are usually consistently too high or too low from the accurate value. The measurements are  systematically wrong. For example, weighing yourself with a scale that has a bad spring inside of it will yield weight measurements that are inaccurate, either too high or too low, even though the weight measurements may seem reasonable. You might, for example, notice that you seem to gain weight after Thanksgiving holiday and lose weight after being ill. These observations may in fact be true but the actual value for your weight will be inaccurate. This is an example of a systematic error. Your measurements are systematically wrong. It is often very difficult to catch systematic errors and usually requires that you understand carefully the workings of your measuring devices. Since we don t normally know the true value of the quantity we are measuring, (otherwise why would we need to measure it?), we need some way to estimate how reliable our measurements are. That is, we need some measure of the error or uncertainty in our measurements. If someone asks us to measure the distance between the Earth and the Sun, they will also be interested in knowing how accurately we think we know our answer. We need to be able to give them an answer in a compact form that indicates our best estimate and our uncertainty in that estimate:  EMBED Equation.2 . Estimating the uncertainty or error  which is a measure of the precision of our measurement  is usually the hard part and what we concentrate on now. One way of estimating the precision of our measurements of some quantity is to measure the quantity many times and then use the data to estimate how precise our measurement is. This procedure works well if the errors in our individual measurements are random, i.e., if they are just as likely to be too high above the true value as too low. The procedure is tedious to describe in words but very easy with symbols. We ll use words first to show you the advantage of using symbols. We begin by making multiple measurements  EMBED Equation.2  EQ , where the subscript i labels a particular measurement of the quantity (i = 1 if we are talking about the first measurement or i = 5 if we are talking about the 5th measurement, and so on). We then form the average  EMBED Equation.2 of all the measurements. Next, we sum up the square of the difference between  EMBED Equation.2  and all the  EMBED Equation.2  s. Continuing, we divide this sum by N  1, where N is the total number of measurements we made. Finally, we take the square root of this number to find the number we really care about. Summarizing, and this time using only symbols, we have   The symbol  EMBED Equation.2  is called the  variance of the mean and its square root ( (the  standard deviation of the mean ) is the number we are interested in. The value of ( is what we would substitute for (x above. It summarizes the variation or  spread in our data when we make multiple measurements of the same quantity. It is a measure of the precision or uncertainty of our final answer  EMBED Equation.2 . Large values of ( mean our individual measurements varied substantially as we made them over and over again. In such a case we do not expect that our final answer will be particularly precise. Conversely, if ( is small, our individual measurements varied little.

The formula tells us to subtract the values of our individual measurements from the average for all the measurements and then add all these differences. So, if all our measurements are nearly the same, then the average for the measurements will not be very different from any individual measurement. The numerical value of the numerator will be small and so will  EMBED Equation.2 . Notice also that we divide the numerator by N  1 so that the entire fraction is a kind of average deviation of the individual measurements from the mean of the measurements.

Comfortably working with uncertainty is a professional necessity for them. Making careful quantitative measurements are important if we want to claim that a particular physics theory explains something about the world around us. Measurements represent some physical quantity. For example, 2.1 meter represents a distance, 7 kilograms represents a mass and 9.3 seconds represents a time. Notice that each of these quantities has a number like 9.3 and a unit,  seconds . The number tells you the amount and the unit tells you the thing that you are talking about, in this case seconds. Both the number and the unit are required to specify a measured quantity. Precision There is a certain inherent inaccuracy or variation in the measurements we make in the laboratory. This inherent inaccuracy or variation is called experimental  error and the word is not meant to imply incompetence on the part of the experimenter. Error merely reflects the condition that our measuring instruments are imperfect. This lack of perfection in our measuring procedure is to be contrasted with mistakes like adding two numbers incorrectly or incorrectly writing down a number from an instrument. Those mistakes have nothing to do with what I mean by experimental error and everything to do with the competence of the experimenter! Understanding and quantifying measurement error is important in experimental science because it is a measure of how seriously we should believe (or not believe) our theories abut how the world works. If I measure my mass to be 120.317 kilograms, that is a very precise measurement because it is very specific. It also happens to be a very inaccurate measurement because I am not quite that fat.

If I measure my mass to be 120.317 kilograms, that is a very precise measurement because it is very specific. It also happens to be a very inaccurate measurement because I am not quite that fat. My mass is considerably less, something like 85 kilograms. So, when we say that we have made a precise measurement we can also say that we have made a very specific measurement. When we say we have made an accurate measurement we can also say that we have made a correct measurement. When we make measurements in the laboratory we should therefore distinguish between the precision and the accuracy of these measurements. The so-called number of significant figures that it contains indicates the precision of a measurement. In our mass example, the quantity 120.317 kilograms has 6 significant figures. This is rather precise as measurements go and is considerably more precise than anything you will measure in this course. Again, the fact that a measurement is precise does not make it accurate, just specific. In any event, it is useful to be familiar with how to recognize the number of significant figures in a number. The technique is this: The leftmost non-zero digit is the most significant digit; If there is no decimal point, the rightmost non-zero digit is the least significant; If there is a decimal point, the rightmost digit is the least significant, even if it is zero. All digits between the least significant and the most significant (inclusive) are themselves significant. For example, the following four numbers have 4 significant figures: 2,314 2,314,000 2.314 9009 9.009 0.000009009 9.000 No physical measurement is completely exact or even completely precise. The apparatus or the skill of the observer always limits accuracy and precision. For example, often physical measurements are made by reading a scale of some sort (ruler, thermometer, dial gauge, etc.). The fineness of the scale markings is limited and the width of the scale lines is greater than zero. In every case the final figure of the reading must be estimated and is therefore somewhat inaccurate. This last figure does indeed contain some useful information about the measured quantity, uncertain as it is. A significant figure is one that is reasonably trustworthy. One and only one estimated or uncertain figure should be retained and used in a measurement. This figure is the least significant figure. It is also important to understand approximately the magnitude of the uncertainty so that you can state it with the measurement. For example, a length measurement of 2.500 meters (4 significant figures) is one digit less uncertain that a measurement of 2.50 meters (3 significant figures). If your measuring instrument is capable of 4 digit precision then you can distinguish between an item 2.500 meters long and one 2.501 meters long. If your instrument were precise to only 3 significant figures, then both items would appear to be 2.50 meters long and you could not distinguish between them. Again, infinite precision is not possible. All instruments have limits. It is important to know how much precision your instrument is capable of. For example, it would be silly to measure something with a toy ruler and then announce that the object was 9.3756283 centimeters long. Error Perhaps you have had the experience of measuring something multiple times and not quite getting the same answer for each measurement. Your measured value could be a bit high or a bit low of the correct value. Perhaps you notice that the variations in your measurements have no fixed or predictable pattern. Your measured value could be as likely to be a bit too high as to be a bit to low. This variation in the measured quantity is called a random error. Indeed, with random errors an individual measurement of an object is just as likely to be a bit too high as to be a bit too low. For example, using a ruler often produces random errors because you will not consistently get the ruler s zero line exactly aligned with the edge of the measured object every time you make a measurement. Measurements may display good precision but yet be very inaccurate. Often, you may find that your measurements are usually consistently too high or too low from the accurate value. The measurements are  systematically wrong. For example, weighing yourself with a scale that has a bad spring inside of it will yield weight measurements that are inaccurate, either too high or too low, even though the weight measurements may seem reasonable. You might, for example, notice that you seem to gain weight after Thanksgiving holiday and lose weight after being ill. These observations may in fact be true but the actual value for your weight will be inaccurate. This is an example of a systematic error. Your measurements are systematically wrong. It is often very difficult to catch systematic errors and usually requires that you understand carefully the workings of your measuring devices. Since we don t normally know the true value of the quantity we are measuring, (otherwise why would we need to measure it?), we need some way to estimate how reliable our measurements are. That is, we need some measure of the error or uncertainty in our measurements. If someone asks us to measure the distance between the Earth and the Sun, they will also be interested in knowing how accurately we think we know our answer. We need to be able to give them an answer in a compact form that indicates our best estimate and our uncertainty in that estimate:  EMBED Equation.2 . Estimating the uncertainty or error  which is a measure of the precision of our measurement  is usually the hard part and what we concentrate on now. One way of estimating the precision of our measurements of some quantity is to measure the quantity many times and then use the data to estimate how precise our measurement is. This procedure works well if the errors in our individual measurements are random, i.e., if they are just as likely to be too high above the true value as too low. The procedure is tedious to describe in words but very easy with symbols. We ll use words first to show you the advantage of using symbols. We begin by making multiple measurements  EMBED Equation.2  EQ , where the subscript i labels a particular measurement of the quantity (i = 1 if we are talking about the first measurement or i = 5 if we are talking about the 5th measurement, and so on). We then form the average  EMBED Equation.2 of all the measurements. Next, we sum up the square of the difference between  EMBED Equation.2  and all the  EMBED Equation.2  s. Continuing, we divide this sum by N  1, where N is the total number of measurements we made. Finally, we take the square root of this number to find the number we really care about. Summarizing, and this time using only symbols, we have   The symbol  EMBED Equation.2  is called the  variance of the mean and its square root ( (the  standard deviation of the mean ) is the number we are interested in. The value of ( is what we would substitute for (x above. It summarizes the variation or  spread in our data when we make multiple measurements of the same quantity. It is a measure of the precision or uncertainty of our final answer  EMBED Equation.2 . Large values of ( mean our individual measurements varied substantially as we made them over and over again. In such a case we do not expect that our final answer will be particularly precise. Conversely, if ( is small, our individual measurements varied little. This is easy to see by looking at the numerator for our formula for  EMBED Equation.2 . The formula tells us to subtract the values of our individual measurements from the average for all the measurements and then add all these differences. So, if all our measurements are nearly the same, then the average for the measurements will not be very different from any individual measurement. The numerical value of the numerator will be small and so will  EMBED Equation.2 . Notice also that we divide the numerator by N  1 so that the entire fraction is a kind of average deviation of the individual measurements from the mean of the measurements. From this you can see why ( is baptized  the standard deviation of the mean. Although a bit tedious, the above procedure for estimating the uncertainty ( in our final answer is straightforward. But what do you do if you know or can estimate the uncertainties in individual measurements? For example, suppose you can measure lengths to a precision of +/- 3 mm. You measure the length of some quantity many times and now you want to make a statement about the uncertainty in your value of  EMBED Equation.2 . You might think that you ought to be able to make use of this knowledge of the uncertainty of an individual measurement. You are correct. To get the uncertainty in your final answer, you need to add the uncertainties in the individual measurements. But, you need to add them in a special way. Specifically, you compute the sum  EMBED Equation.2 , where the  EMBED Equation.2  are the uncertainties in the individual measurements. In words, this formula says to add the squares of the reciprocals of the individual uncertainties. This may seem like a perverse way to proceed but it is actually quite sensible. If a particular measurement has a very large uncertainty (because you forgot to turn on part of the measuring device), and then you do not expect this particular measurement to be very useful for finding your final answer. Well, the above formula tells you this. If you take the reciprocal of a large number then you will get a small number. Adding a small number to some other number doesn t always change the original number very much so in some cases you can just neglect the small number. Remember that what you really care about ultimately is the uncertainty in your final answer and that is given by (. Either one of our computational recipes is appropriate for doing today s lab. Odds and Ends Taking the mean (average) value for a set of measurements is a good way of reducing the effects of random errors and is the preferred way to get your value for  EMBED Equation.2 . As you increase the number of measurements, the mean value of these measurements will more closely resemble the actual value of the quantity you are trying to measure, assuming there are no systematic errors present. This is because you are just as likely to measure a value that is slightly too high as one that is too low, so that the random errors will  average themselves out . The magnitude of the relative errors for the individual measurements gives you an idea of the uncertainty in your value. Averaging your measurements will not help you when there are systematic errors present. In fact, there is no standard way to deal with systematic measurements, which is why they are so troublesome. There is a final aspect of measurement that you should be aware of. We need to be specific about what exactly it is we are trying to measure. For example, in our weight example above, does it mean with or without clothes? At what time of day? Before or after a meal? You should be clear about the meaning of the quantity you are trying to measure so that people can accurately interpret the significance of your results. Summary Questions What is the difference between accuracy and precision and why is this difference significant? How many significant figures are in 13600? 0.12040? 00045? What distinguishes a random error from a systematic error? What is the point of making multiple measurements of the same quantity before making a final statement about the numerical value of that quantity? Objectives To see how measurements and error analysis are a fundamental part of experimental science. To make some actual measurements and analyze the errors in them. To observe and understand the difference between accuracy and precision. To understand the nature of random and systematic errors. Equipment Candle, ruler,  special ruler, paper with closed curves, metal rod, material to be weighed (dry ice and alcohol) and triple beam balance. Procedure Measure the length of the metal rods. Using only the special ruler, measure the length of each piece 5 times. When you are finished, average the values to get a better measure of the piece s true length. Next, use your plastic ruler to measure your pieces again. Measure 5 times as before and compute the average to refine your measured value. Make an  eyeball estimate of your uncertainties. Measure the height of the candle flame. Light your candle and let the flame burn steadily for a minute or so. Use the plastic ruler to measure the height of the flame. Make 10 measurements and try not to melt the ruler. Hold the ruler a small distance away from the flame. Record your measurements. Estimate for each measurement its  EMBED Equation.2 . Identify the technique you used to find the uncertainty ( of your final answer. Remember to write only a sensible number of significant figures. Measure your reaction time. Your reaction time is the time that passes between some external stimulus and your first action. We will use an old method to measure your reaction time. A falling ruler will suffice. This is what to do. Have your partner hold the regular ruler vertically, holding it by the top and having the zero point toward the bottom. Place your thumb and forefinger at the ruler s bottom, surrounding the zero point. Be prepared to pinch the ruler as if it were to fall. Rest your forearm on the lab table to steady your hand. Your partner will drop the ruler without warning. Pinch and grab the falling ruler as fast as you can. Record the distance the ruler fell. This will tell you your reaction time. Compute your reaction time using Galileo s formula:  EMBED Equation.2 . The meaning of the symbols will be explained in lab. Make 5 measurements and record the corresponding reaction times. Record your reaction times on your data sheet. Do not mix your times with your partners. This means you will make 5 measurements per person. Compute and record the individual  EMBED Equation.2  s for each measurement. Identify the technique you used to find the uncertainty ( of your final answer. Be sure that both you and your lab partner have your reaction times measured. Measure the diameter of a closed curve. Measure the diameter of the large closed curve. Measure this curve diameter across 6 different diameters of the curve. Record your measurements. Compute the average diameter. Estimate for each measurement its  EMBED Equation.2 . Identify the technique you used to find the uncertainty ( of your final answer. Remember to write only a sensible number of significant figures. Measure the mass of a cold material. Go to the instructor s table with your partner, where you will be given a cup containing some alcohol and some crushed dry ice. Using the balance on the instructor s table, measure and record the mass of the cup 6 times, at 1 minute intervals. Warning: The dry ice and alcohol mixture is quite cold. If you stick your fingers in the mixture you will feel much pain. Measurement and Measurement Error PHYS 1313 Prof. T. E.

In our mass example, the quantity 120.317 kilograms has 6 significant figures. This is rather precise as measurements go and is considerably more precise than anything you will measure in this course. Again, the fact that a measurement is precise does not make it accurate, just specific. In any event, it is useful to be familiar with how to recognize the number of significant figures in a number. The technique is this: The leftmost non-zero digit is the most significant th of some quantity many times and now you want to make a statement about the uncertainty in your value of  EMBED Equation.2 . You might think that you ought to be able to make use of this knowledge of the uncertainty of an individual measurement. You are correct.

In words, this formula says to add the squares of the reciprocals of the individual uncertainties. This may seem like a perverse way to proceed but it is actually quite sensible.

Error Perhaps you have had the experience of measuring something multiple times and not quite getting the same answer for each measurement. Your measured value could be a bit high or a bit low of the correct value. Perhaps you notice that the variations in your measurements have no fixed or predictable pattern. Your measured value could be as likely to be a bit too high as to be a bit to low. This variation in the measured quantity is called a random error. Indeed, with random errors an individual measurement of an object is just as likely to be a bit too high as to be a bit too low. For example, using a ruler often produces random errors because you will not consistently get the ruler s zero line exactly aligned with the edge of the measured object every time you make a measurement.

You might, for example, notice that you seem to gain weight after Thanksgiving holiday and lose weight after being ill. These observations may in fact be true but the actual value for your weight will be inaccurate. This is an example of a systematic error. Your measurements are systematically wrong. It is often very difficult to catch systematic errors and usually requires that you understand carefully the workings of your measuring devices. Since we don t normally know the true value of the quantity we are measuring, (otherwise why would we need to measure it?), we need some way to estimate how reliable our measurements are. That is, we need some measure of the error or uncertainty in our measurements. If someone asks us to measure the distance  2:KRuAܞЛfen`!KRuAܞЛfJHRx5O @(|X Q/-E O{{qafٹ9Bpnu lXFD:!ND'=jd+qLkh"1K{ bYZ IpZ/.Mnj]5^b*lK&^I/Dџg FCnլS_y;bn/SagX]_.9DdTB  S A ? 2//w]:B  S A? 2>M;. >'eM"3O Tn`!M;. >'eM"3O^ hxe= @L0S h@BI!xo,<`Wy7-8WJlQT!βL.T1Yw9 J.TPGfBeK%a<>.| ۂgim>D}wA IQ&IxlNwrAz?~:ܚ!}W2Dd@B   S between the Earth and the Sun, they will also be interested in knowing how accurately we think we know our answer. We need to be able to give them an answer in a compact form that indicates our best estimate and our uncertainty in that estimate:  EMBED Equation.2 . Estimating the uncertainty or error  which is a measure of the precision of our measurement  is usually the hard part and what we concentrate on now. One way of estimating the precision of our measurements of some quantity is to measure the quantity many times and then use the data to estimate how precise our measurement is. This procedure works well if the errors in our individual measurements are random, i.e., if they are just as likely to be too high above the true value as too low. The procedure is tedious to describe in words but very easy with symbols. We ll use words first to show you the advantage of using symbols.

We then form the average  EMBED Equation.2 of all the measurements. Next, we sum up the square of the difference between  EMBED Equation.2  and all the  EMBED Equation.2  s. Continuing, we divide this sum by N  1, where N is the total number of measurements we made. Finally, we take the square root of this number to find the number we really care about. Summarizing, and this time using only symbols, we have   The symbol  EMBED Equation.2  is called the  variance of the mean and its square root ( (the  standard deviation of the mean ) is the number we are interested in.

In such a case we do not expect that our final answer will be particularly precise. Conversely, if ( is small, our individual measurements varied little. This is easy to see by looking at the numerator for our formula for  EMBED Equation.2 .

(Even though almanacs and telephone books are quite useful!) A good physics theory is far more interested in principles than simple  facts. Noting that the moon appears regularly in the night sky is far less interesting than understanding why it does so. We have confidence that a particular physics theory is telling us something interesting about the physical universe because we are able to test quantitatively its predictions or statements about the universe. Indeed, all physics (and scientific) theories have this  put up or shut up quality to them. For something to be called a physics  theory  in the first place, it must make quantitative statements about the universe that can be then quantitatively tested. These tests are called  experiments . The statement,  My girlfriend is the most charming woman in the world, however true it may be, has no business being in a physics theory because it simply cannot be quantitatively tested. If the experimental measurements are performed correctly and the observations are inconsistent with the theory, then at least some portion of the theory is wrong and needs to be modified. Yet, consistency between the theoretical predictions and the experimental observations never decisively proves a theory true. It is always possible that a more comprehensive theory can be developed which will also be consistent with these same experimental observations. Physicists, as well as other scientists, give a kind of provisional assent to their theories, however successfully they might agree with experimental observation. Comfortably working with uncertainty is a professional necessity for them. Making careful quantitative measurements are important if we want to claim that a particular physics theory explains something about the world around us. Measurements represent some physical quantity. For example, 2.1 meter represents a distance, 7 kilograms represents a mass and 9.3 seconds represents a time. Notice that each of these quantities has a number like 9.3 and a unit,  seconds . The number tells you the amount and the unit tells you the thing that you are talking about, in this case seconds. Both the number and the unit are required to specify a measured quantity. Precision There is a certain inherent inaccuracy or variation in the measurements we make in the laboratory. This inherent inaccuracy or variation is called experimental  error and the word is not meant to imply incompetence on the part of the experimenter. Error merely reflects the condition that our measuring instruments are imperfect. This lack of perfection in our measuring procedure is to be contrasted with mistakes like adding two numbers incorrectly or incorrectly writing down a number from an instrument. Those mistakes have nothing to do with what I mean by experimental error and everything to do with the competence of the experimenter! Understanding and quantifying measurement error is important in experimental science because it is a measure of how seriously we should believe (or not believe) our theories abut how the world works. If I measure my mass to be 120.317 kilograms, that is a very precise measurement because it is very specific. It also happens to be a very inaccurate measurement because I am not quite that fat. My mass is considerably less, something like 85 kilograms. So, when we say that we have made a precise measurement we can also say that we have made a very specific measurement. When we say we have made an accurate measurement we can also say that we have made a correct measurement. When we make measurements in the laboratory we should therefore distinguish between the precision and the accuracy of these measurements. The so-called number of significant figures that it contains indicates the precision of a measurement. In our mass example, the quantity 120.317 kilograms has 6 significant figures. This is rather precise as measurements go and is considerably more precise than anything you will measure in this course. Again, the fact that a measurement is precise does not make it accurate, just specific. In any event, it is useful to be familiar with how to recognize the number of significant figures in a number. The technique is this: The leftmost non-zero digit is the most significant digit; If there is no decimal point, the rightmost non-zero digit is the least significant; If there is a decimal point, the rightmost digit is the least significant, even if it is zero. All digits between the least significant and the most significant (inclusive) are themselves significant. For example, the following four numbers have 4 significant figures: 2,314 2,314,000 2.314 9009 9.009 0.000009009 9.000 No physical measurement is completely exact or even completely precise. The apparatus or the skill of the observer always limits accuracy and precision. For example, often physical measurements are made by reading a scale of some sort (ruler, thermometer, dial gauge, etc.). The fineness of the scale markings is limited and the width of the scale lines is greater than zero. In every case the final figure of the reading must be estimated and is therefore somewhat inaccurate. This last figure does indeed contain some useful information about the measured quantity, uncertain as it is. A significant figure is one that is reasonably trustworthy. One and only one estimated or uncertain figure should be retained and used in a measurement. This figure is the least significant figure. It is also important to understand approximately the magnitude of the uncertainty so that you can state it with the measurement. For example, a length measurement of 2.500 meters (4 significant figures) is one digit less uncertain that a measurement of 2.50 meters (3 significant figures). If your measuring instrument is capable of 4 digit precision then you can distinguish between an item 2.500 meters long and one 2.501 meters long. If your instrument were precise to only 3 significant figures, then both items would appear to be 2.50 meters long and you could not distinguish between them. Again, infinite precision is not possible. All instruments have limits. It is important to know how much precision your instrument is capable of. For example, it would be silly to measure something with a toy ruler and then announce that the object was 9.3756283 centimeters long. Error Perhaps you have had the experience of measuring something multiple times and not quite getting the same answer for each measurement. Your measured value could be a bit high or a bit low of the correct value. Perhaps you notice that the variations in your measurements have no fixed or predictable pattern. Your measured value could be as likely to be a bit too high as to be a bit to low. This variation in the measured quantity is called a random error. Indeed, with random errors an individual measurement of an object is just as likely to be a bit too high as to be a bit too low. For example, using a ruler often produces random errors because you will not consistently get the ruler s zero line exactly aligned with the edge of the measured object every time you make a measurement. Measurements may display good precision but yet be very inaccurate. Often, you may find that your measurements are usually consistently too high or too low from the accurate value. The measurements are  systematically wrong. For example, weighing yourself with a scale that has a bad spring inside of it will yield weight measurements that are inaccurate, either too high or too low, even though the weight measurements may seem reasonable. You might, for example, notice that you seem to gain weight after Thanksgiving holiday and lose weight after being ill. These observations may in fact be true but the actual value for your weight will be inaccurate. This is an example of a systematic error. Your measurements are systematically wrong. It is often very difficult to catch systematic errors and usually requires that you understand carefully the workings of your measuring devices. Since we don t normally know the true value of the quantity we are measuring, (otherwise why would we need to measure it?), we need some way to estimate how reliable our measurements are. That is, we need some measure of the error or uncertainty in our measurements. If someone asks us to measure the distance between the Earth and the Sun, they will also be interested in knowing how accurately we think we know our answer. We need to be able to give them an answer in a compact form that indicates our best estimate and our uncertainty in that estimate:  EMBED Equation.2 . Estimating the uncertainty or error  which is a measure of the precision of our measurement  is usually the hard part and what we concentrate on now. One way of estimating the precision of our measurements of some quantity is to measure the quantity many times and then use the data to estimate how precise our measurement is. This procedure works well if the errors in our individual measurements are random, i.e., if they are just as likely to be too high above the true value as too low. The procedure is tedious to describe in words but very easy with symbols. We ll use words first to show you the advantage of using symbols. We begin by making multiple measurements  EMBED Equation.2  EQ , where the subscript i labels a particular measurement of the quantity (i = 1 if we are talking about the first measurement or i = 5 if we are talking about the 5th measurement, and so on). We then form the average  EMBED Equation.2 of all the measurements. Next, we sum up the square of the difference between  EMBED Equation.2  and all the  EMBED Equation.2  s. Continuing, we divide this sum by N  1, where N is the total number of measurements we made. Finally, we take the square root of this number to find the number we really care about. Summarizing, and this time using only symbols, we have   The symbol  EMBED Equation.2  is called the  variance of the mean and its square root ( (the  standard deviation of the mean ) is the number we are interested in. The value of ( is what we would substitute for (x above. It summarizes the variation or  spread in our data when we make multiple measurements of the same quantity. It is a measure of the precision or uncertainty of our final answer  EMBED Equation.2 . Large values of ( mean our individual measurements varied substantially as we made them over and over again. In such a case we do not expect that our final answer will be particularly precise. Conversely, if ( is small, our individual measurements varied little. This is easy to see by looking at the numerator for our formula for  EMBED Equation.2 . The formula tells us to subtract the values of our individual measurements from the average for all the measurements and then add all these differences. So, if all our measurements are nearly the same, then the average for the measurements will not be very different from any individual measurement. The numerical value of the numerator will be small and so will  EMBED Equation.2 . Notice also that we divide the numerator by N  1 so that the entire fraction is a kind of average deviation of the individual measurements from the mean of the measurements. From this you can see why ( is baptized  the standard deviation of the mean. Although a bit tedious, the above procedure for estimating the uncertainty ( in our final answer is straightforward. But what do you do if you know or can estimate the uncertainties in individual measurements? For example, suppose you can measure lengths to a precision of +/- 3 mm. You measure the length of some quantity many times and now you want to make a statement about the uncertainty in your value of  EMBED Equation.2 . You might think that you ought to be able to make use of this knowledge of the uncertainty of an individual measurement. You are correct. To get the uncertainty in your final answer, you need to add the uncertainties in the individual measurements. But, you need to add them in a special way. Specifically, you compute the sum  EMBED Equation.2 , where the  EMBED Equation.2  are the uncertainties in the individual measurements. In words, this formula says to add the squares of the reciprocals of the individual uncertainties. This may seem like a perverse way to proceed but it is actually quite sensible. If a particular measurement has a very large uncertainty (because you forgot to turn on part of the measuring device), and then you do not expect this particular measurement to be very useful for finding your final answer. Well, the above formula tells you this. If you tn accuracy and precision and why is this difference significant? How many significant figures are in 13600? 0.12040? 00045? What distinguishes a random error from a systematic error? What is the point of making multiple measurements of the same quantity before making a final statement about the numerical value of that quantity? Objectives To see how measurements and error analysis are a fundamental part of experimental science. To make some actual measurements and analyze the errors in them. To observe and understand the difference between accuracy and precision. To understand the nature of random and systematic errors. Equipment Candle, ruler,  special ruler, paper with closed curves, metal rod, material to be weighed (dry ice and alcohol) and triple beam balance. Procedure Measure the length of the metal rods. Using only the special ruler, measure the length of each piece 5 times. When you are finished, average the values to get a better measure of the piece s true length. Next, use your plastic ruler to measure your pieces again. Measure 5 times as before and compute the average to refine your measured value. Make an  eyeball estimate of your uncertainties. Measure the height of the candle flame. Light your candle and let the flame burn steadily for a minute or so. Use the plastic ruler to measure the height of the flame. Make 10 measurements and try not to melt the ruler. Hold the ruler a small distance away from the flame. Record your measurements. Estimate for each measurement its  EMBED Equation.2 . Identify the technique you used to find the uncertainty ( of your final answer. Remember to write only a sensible number of significant figures. Measure your reaction time. Your reaction time is the time that passes between some external stimulus and your first action. We will use an old method to measure your reaction time. A falling ruler will suffice. This is what to do. Have your partner hold the regular ruler vertically, holding it by the top and having the zero point toward the bottom. Place your thumb and forefinger at the ruler s bottom, surrounding the zero point. Be prepared to pinch the ruler as if it were to fall. Rest your forearm on the lab table to steady your hand. Your partner will drop the ruler without warning. Pinch and grab the falling ruler as fast as you can. Record the distance the ruler fell. This will tell you your reaction time. Compute your reaction time using Galileo s formula:  EMBED Equation.2 . The meaning of the symbols will be explained in lab. Make 5 measurements and record the corresponding reaction times. Record your reaction times on your data sheet. Do not mix your times with your partners. This means you will make 5 measurements per person. Compute and record the individual  EMBED Equation.2  s for each measurement. Identify the technique you used to find the uncertainty ( of your final answer. Be sure that both you and your lab partner have your reaction times measured. Measure the diameter of a closed curve. Measure the diameter of the large closed curve. Measure this curve diameter across 6 different diameters of the curve. Record your measurements. Compute the average diameter. Estimate for each measurement its  EMBED Equation.2 . Identify the technique you used to find the uncertainty ( of your final answer. Remember to write only a sensible number of significant figures. Measure the mass of a cold material. Go to the instructor s table with your partner, where you will be given a cup containing some alcohol and some crushed dry ice. Using the balance on the instructor s table, measure and record the mass of the cup 6 times, at 1 minute intervals. Warning: The dry ice and alcohol mixture is quite cold. If you stick your fingers in the mixture you will feel much pain. Measurement and Measurement Error PHYS 1313 Prof. T. E.

Odds and Ends Taking the mean (average) value for a set of measurements is a good way of reducing the effects of random errors and is the preferred way to get your value for  EMBED Equation.2 . As you increase the number of measurements, the mean value of these measurements will more closely resemble the actual value of the quantity you are trying to measure, assuming there are no systematic errors present. This is because you are just as likely to measure a value that is slightly too high as one that is too low, so that the random errors will  average themselves out .

Averaging your measurements will not help you when there are systematic errors present. In fact, there is no standard way to deal with systematic measurements, which is why they are so troublesome. There is a final aspect of measurement that you should be aware of. We need to be specific about what exactly it is we are trying to measure. For example, in our weight example above, does it mean with or without clothes? At what time of day? Before or after a meal? You should be clear about the meaning of the quantity you are trying to measure so that people can accurately interpret the significance of your results.

This lack of perfection in our measuring procedure is to be contrasted with mistakes like adding two numbers incorrectly or incorrectly writing down a number from an instrument. Those mistakes have nothing to do with what I mean by experimental error and everything to do with the competence of the experimenter! Understanding and quantifying measurement error is important in experimental science because it is a measure of how seriously we should believe (or not believe) our theories abut how the world works. If I measure my mass to be 120.317 kilograms, that is a very precise measurement because it is very specific. It also happens to be a very inaccurate measurement because I am not quite that fat. My mass is considerably less, something like 85 kilograms. So, when we say that we have made a precise measurement we can also say that we have made a very specific measurement. When we say we have made an accurate measurement we can also say that we have made a correct measurement. When we make measurements in the laboratory we should therefore distinguish between the precision and the accuracy of these measurements. The so-called number of significant figures that it contains indicates the precision of a measurement. In our mass example, the quantity 120.317 kilograms has 6 significant figures. This is rather precise as measurements go and is considerably more precise than anything you will measure in this course. Again, the fact that a measurement is precise does not make it accurate, just specific. In any event, it is useful to be familiar with how to recognize the number of significant figures in a number. The technique is this: The leftmost non-zero digit is the most significant digit; If there is no decimal point, the rightmost non-zero digit is the least significant; If there is a decimal point, the rightmost digit is the least significant, even if it is zero. All digits between the least significant and the most significant (inclusive) are themselves significant. For example, the following four numbers have 4 significant figures: 2,314 2,314,000 2.314 9009 9.009 0.000009009 9.000 No physical measurement is completely exact or even completely precise. The apparatus or the skill of the observer always limits accuracy and precision. For example, often physical measurements are made by reading a scale of some sort (ruler, thermometer, dial gauge, etc.). The fineness of the scale markings is limited and the width of the scale lines is greater than zero. In every case the final figure of the reading must be estimated and is therefore somewhat inaccurate. This last figure does indeed contain some useful information about the measured quantity, uncertain as it is. A significant figure is one that is reasonably trustworthy. One and only one estimated or uncertain figure should be retained and used in a measurement. This figure is the least significant figure. It is also important to understand approximately the magnitude of the uncertainty so that you can state it with the measurement. For example, a length measurement of 2.500 meters (4 significant figures) is one digit less uncertain that a measurement of 2.50 meters (3 significant figures). If your measuring instrument is capable of 4 digit precision then you can distinguish between an item 2.500 meters long and one 2.501 meters long. If your instrument were precise to only 3 significant figures, then both items would appear to be 2.50 meters long and you could not distinguish between them. Again, infinite precision is not possible. All instruments have limits. It is important to know how much precision your instrument is capable of. For example, it would be silly to measure something with a toy ruler and then announce that the object was 9.3756283 centimeters long. Error Perhaps you have had the experience of measuring something multiple times and not quite getting the same answer for each measurement. Your measured value could be a bit high or a bit low of the correct value. Perhaps you notice that the variations in your measurements have no fixed or predictable pattern. Your measured value could be as likely to be a bit too high as to be a bit to low. This variation in the measured quantity is called a random error. Indeed, with random errors an individual measurement of an object is just as likely to be a bit too high as to be a bit too low. For example, using a ruler often produces random errors because you will not consistently get the ruler s zero line exactly aligned with the edge of the measured object every time you make a measurement. Measurements may display good precision but yet be very inaccurate. Often, you may find that your measurements are usually consistently too high or too low from the accurate value. The measurements are  systematically wrong. For example, weighing yourself with a scale that has a bad spring inside of it will yield weight measurements that are inaccurate, either too high or too low, even though the weight measurements may seem reasonable. You might, for example, notice that you seem to gain weight after Thanksgiving holiday and lose weight after being ill. These observations may in fact be true but the actual value for your weight will be inaccurate. This is an example of a systematic error. Your measurements are systematically wrong. It is often very difficult to catch systematic errors and usually requires that you understand carefully the workings of your measuring devices. Since we don t normally know the true value of the quantity we are measuring, (otherwise why would we need to measure it?), we need some way to estimate how reliable our measurements are. That is, we need some measure of the error or uncertainty in our measurements. If someone asks us to measure the distance between the Earth and the Sun, they will also be interested in knowing how accurately we think we know our answer. We need to be able to give them an answer in a compact form that indicates our best estimate and our uncertainty in that estimate:  EMBED Equation.2 . Estimating the uncertainty or error  which is a measure of the precision of our measurement  is usually the hard part and what we concentrate on now. One way of estimating the precision of our measurements of some quantity is to measure the quantity many times and then use the data to estimate how precise our measurement is. This procedure works well if the errors in our individual measurements are random, i.e., if they are just as likely to be too high above the true value as too low. The procedure is tedious to describe in words but very easy with symbols. We ll use words first to show you the advantage of using symbols. We begin by making multiple measurements  EMBED Equation.2  EQ , where the subscript i labels a particular measurement of the quantity (i = 1 if we are talking about the first measurement or i = 5 if we are talking about the 5th measurement, and so on). We then form the average  EMBED Equation.2 of all the measurements. Next, we sum up the square of the difference between  EMBED Equation.2  and all the  EMBED Equation.2  s. Continuing, we divide this sum by N  1, where N is the total number of measurements we made. Finally, we take the square root of this number to find the number we really care about. Summarizing, and this time using only symbols, we have   The symbol  EMBED Equation.2  is called the  variance of the mean and its square root ( (the  standard deviation of the mean ) is the number we are interested in. The value of ( is what we would substitute for (x above. It summarizes the variation or  spread in our data when we make multiple measurements of the same quantity. It is a measure of the precision or uncertainty of our final answer  EMBED Equation.2 . Large values of ( mean our individual measurements varied substantially as we made them over and over again. In such a case we do not expect that our final answer will be particularly precise. Conversely, if ( is small, our individual measurements varied little. This is easy to see by looking at the numerator for our formula for  EMBED Equation.2 . The formula tells us to subtract the values of our individual measurements from the average for all the measurements and then add all these differences. So, if all our measurements are nearly the same, then the average for the measurements will not be very different from any individual measurement. The numerical value of the numerator will be small and so will  EMBED Equation.2 . Notice also that we divide the numerator by N  1 so that the entire fraction is a kind of average deviation of the individual measurements from the mean of the measurements. From this you can see why ( is baptized  the standard deviation of the mean. Although a bit tedious, the above procedure for estimating the uncertainty ( in our final answer is straightforward. But what do you do if you know or can estimate the uncertainties in individual measurements? For example, suppose you can measure lengths to a precision of +/- 3 mm. You measure the length of some quantity many times and now you want to make a statement about the uncertainty in your value of  EMBED Equation.2 . You might think that you ought to be able to make use of this knowledge of the uncertainty of an individual measurement. You are correct. To get the uncertainty in your final answer, you need to add the uncertainties in the individual measurements. But, you need to add them in a special way. Specifically, you compute the sum  EMBED Equation.2 , where the  EMBED Equation.2  are the uncertainties in the individual measurements. In words, this formula says to add the squares of the reciprocals of the individual uncertainties. This may seem like a perverse way to proceed but it is actually quite sensible. If a particular measurement has a very large uncertainty (because you forgot to turn on part of the measuring device), and then you do not expect this particular measurement to be very useful for finding your final answer. Well, the above formula tells you this. If you take the reciprocal of a large number then you will get a small number. Adding a small number to some other number doesn t always change the original number very much so in some cases you can just neglect the small number. Remember that what you really care about ultimately is the uncertainty in your final answer and that is given by (. Either one of our computational recipes is appropriate for doing today s lab. Odds and Ends Taking the mean (average) value for a set of measurements is a good way of reducing the effects of random errors and is the preferred way to get your value for  EMBED Equation.2 . As you increase the number of measurements, the mean value of these measurements will more closely resemble the actual value of the quantity you are trying to measure, assuming there are no systematic errors present. This is because you are just as likely to measure a value that is slightly too high as one that is too low, so that the random errors will  average themselves out . The magnitude of the relative errors for the individual measurements gives you an idea of the uncertainty in your value. Averaging your measurements will not help you when there are systematic errors present. In fact, there is no standard way to deal with systematic measurements, which is why they are so troublesome. There is a final aspect of measurement that you should be aware of. We need to be specific about what exactly it is we are trying to measure. For example, in our weight example above, does it mean with or without clothes? At what time of day? Before or after a meal? You should be clear about the meaning of the quantity you are trying to measure so that people can accurately interpret the significance of your results. Summary Questions What is the difference between accuracy and precision and why is this difference significant? How many significant figures are in 13600? 0.12040? 00045? What distinguishes a random error from a systematic error? What is the point of making multiple measurements of the same quantity before making a final statement about the numerical value of that quantity? Objectives To see how measurements and error analysis are a fundamental part of experimental science. To make some actual measurements and analyze the errors in them. To observe and understand the difference between accuracy and precision. To understand the nature of random and systematic errors. Equipment Candle, ruler,  special ruler, paper with closed curves, metal rod, material to be weighed (dry ice and alcohol) and triple beam balance. Procedure Measure the length of the metal rods. Using only the special ruler, measure the length of each piece 5 times. When you are finished, average the values to get a better measure of the piece s true length. Next, use your plastic ruler to measure your pieces again. Measure 5 times as before and compute the average to refine your measured value. Make an  eyeball estimate of your uncertainties. Measure the height of the candle flame. Light your candle and let the flame burn steadily for a minute or so. Use the plastic ruler to measure the height of the flame. Make 10 measurements and try not to melt the ruler. Hold the ruler a small distance away from the flame. Record your measurements. Estimate for each measurement its  EMBED Equation.2 .

We will use an old method to measure your reaction time. A falling ruler will suffice. This is what to do. Have your partner hold the regular ruler vertically, holding it by the top and having the zero point toward the bottom. Place your thumb and forefinger at the ruler s bottom, surrounding the zero point. Be prepared to pinch the ruler as if it were to fall. Rest your forearm on the lab table to steady your hand. Your partner will drop the ruler without warning. Pinch and grab the falling ruler as fast as you can. Record the distance the ruler fell. This will tell you your reaction time. Compute your reaction time using Galileo s formula:  EMBED Equation.2 . The meaning of the symbols will be explained in lab. Make 5 measurements and record the corresponding reaction times. Record your reaction times on your data sheet. Do not mix your times with your partners. This means you will make 5 measurements per person.
