There is a term in physics called the 'measurement problem'. This generally occurs in the quantum world when one tries to measure the exact position of a particle. If you try to measure where it is you affect it's position.

When looking at the problem of whether light is a wave or a particle, the very act of deciding which aspect to observe changes the outcome of your experiment.

I know I haven't set this out very clearly and hope others will clarify my attempt.

What is guantitative?

You mean quantitative observation, which is observing a measureable value (quantity) of something, for example temperature, voltage, velocity etc. Another form of observation is qualitative observation, which means observing a property of something without measuring a value for it, for example the air might be clear or foggy.
