Measurement
A quantity ascertained by observation characterized by:
Magnitude
Unit
The Modulus or Absolute Value, | m | assigned to
represent the observation.
The ordering Metric by which a Relation with the magnitude
of the observation might be expressed as a scaled ratio.
Section 1.3, (Pg. 7)
Uncertainty
A parameter associated with an observation relating the
probabilistic dispersion of the Magnitude.
Measurand – that quantifiable
aspect of a phenomenological
system by which class
equivalences can be metrically
determined
Measurand – the object of the
measurement
Measurement – the estimation
of the ratio (typically attribute
differences) between the

Insofar as a principal salient of a phenomenological system
is its ability to be characterized by a descriptive quantification,
a well formed quantification ( i .e. measurement )
thereby consists of the following:
An ordered state of matter
possessed of attributes
capable of being
characterized by a
descriptive quantification
Phenomenological System
Unit of Measure ( UOM )
A fundamental or ordering Metric, characteristic
of the measurand and by which class equivalencies
with like phenomena can be gauged, by which a
Relation with the magnitude of an observation
might be expressed as a scaled ratio.
Magnitude
The Modulus or Absolute Value, | m | assigned
to represent an observation and by which a scaled
ratio relation to the UOM can be made .
Examples:
Length: 23.4 km ( Kilometers / Meters )
Mass: 38.5 lbs ( Pounds )
Time: 1:32 hrs ( Hour : Seconds )
Current: 0.32 mA ( Miliamps / Amperes )

Conversion Factor ( CF )
A ratio ( constituted of disparate UOMs evaluating to a unity ) which
has the multiplicative effect of converting one UOM into another without
affecting the magnitude of the quantity as between the operands and (
resultant ) product.
Dimensional Invariance
The operation of a physical law will hold proportionally irrespective of
the UOM employed by which to assay its effects (e.g. two buildings
will measure the same height whether measured in feet or meters).

Avogadro postulated that gasses combine – irrespective of molecular
size – in equal volumes and thus equal particulate cardinality
Equal volumes of disparate ( reactant ) gasses contain the

Thomson’s Cathode Ray Particles ( Electrons )
The particles exhibit directionality – they emanate at the negative
electrode ( i.e. Cathode ) and terminate at the positive ( i.e. Anode )

Thomson
High voltage applied to an evacuated tube produces a stream of particles
between electrodes observed to possess the following properties:
The particle stream ( i.e. Cathode Rays ) are repelled by the
negative pole of an applied electric field.
First observed in 1869 by German
physicist Johann Hittorf, named in
1876 by Eugen Goldstein
Kathodenstrahlen ( i.e. “ Cathode ” )
The Charge-to-Mass ratio of the constituent particles in the
stream can be determined by a measurement of deflection of the
stream subject to a magnetic field :

opposite and equal charge as the Electron

Thomson’s description of the Electron lead to a compositional
conjecture concerning the structure of the Atom
Thomson further speculated that this positive charge
would be randomly distributed throughout the Atom
with the negatively charged Electrons embedded within
the atomic composition ( i.e. a ‘Plum Pudding’ of
heterogenous particles )
The Plum Pudding analogy was first
proposed by Lord Baron Kelvin,

Millikan contrived an experiment whereby the free-fall of charged
oil droplets within an atmospherically controlled chamber could be
halted ( equalized to the force of G ) by the application of a
voltage across two oppositely charged plates
The Plum Pudding analogy was first
proposed by Lord Baron Kelvin,
William Thomson ( unrelated )
Applying this Electron Unit Charge magnitude to J.J. Thomson’s
Charge-to-Mass Ratio allowed Millikan to posit a precise Mass
for the Electron at 9.11 x 10 – 31 kg

Is trained on a gold foil target to probe the structure of the atom by
dispersion of the source in collision/deflection with the target
Occasional , significant deflection of the source – through large
angles – led to the conclusion that the Atom must be composed of
a concentrated , positive-charge massive “ nucleus ”
Minimal deflection of the majority of the source moreover led to the added
conjecture that the atom must be composed mostly of “ open space ”
