“An error does not become truth
by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody
sees it.” - Mahatma Gandhi
Errors are common in life.
We learn our mistakes through errors we do or experience everyday.
In the field of science, errors are defined as the closeness of values
denoting how far a measured value is with respect to a reference value.
In this session, I was able to
understand full the concept of uncertainty, the error between measured values.
Also all about deviations, relative and absolute error. There are
so many formulas to understand and I should grasp it well.
By the end of the session, I was
able to cling on the knowledge I should have to meet our objectives of the day.
With my group, we were able to identify the type of error involved in an
experiment; Distinguish between accuracy and precision of a measuring device;
and report values that result from operations on best estimates.
The whole session was fun. The real fun part was the group errors we committed while answering the activity :))
I'm looking forward
to acquiring more knowledge through the world of physics :)
