Question
Chapter 1, Problem 2E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the number of experiments required to verify a natural law can be predicted or not should be discussed.
Concept introduction:
The first step of scientific method is making observations. When enough observations are made on natural phenomena, a pattern can be identified and a generalization of phenomena or a natural law can be formed. Natural law is a brief statement, which is most of the time in mathematical form derived on natural phenomena.
