PeroK replied to the thread Errors and significant figures.As I said, my instinct is that the true area must lie within the given range. In this case, area could be 20.8, which is not ## 19\pm... -
PeroK replied to the thread Errors and significant figures.It's not a question of being precise. It's a question of the area definitely lying within the range given. -
PeroK replied to the thread Errors and significant figures.PS 20.5 is not an upper limit for the area. It would have to be ##19 \pm 2##, assuming the error must be symmetric. -
PeroK replied to the thread Errors and significant figures.My mathematical instinct is satisfied by ##19.4 \pm 1.5##. In this case, reducing the answer to ##19## plus or minus whatever doesn't... -
PeroK replied to the thread Errors and significant figures.I'm not sure I know the expected answer, but I'd make the following observation. With that data, the area is between 17.92 and 20.88... -
PeroK replied to the thread I Electron energy in atoms.The expected value is the average. You always get an energy corresponding to the transition between two eigenstates. The measurement of... -
PeroK replied to the thread I Electron energy in atoms.Only the ground state is stable. An atom in an excited state will emit one or more photons and reduce to the ground state. The same... -
