A "law" is just a theory that has been around long enough to inspire a lot of confidence in its chances of being true.
By that time, it has been tested by experiments and none has ever found a problem with it.
Also by that time, the theory has produced predictions that have been proven accurate by experiments designed to test them.
So it begins to be referred to as a "law".
But that doesn't mean that it can never be blown to bits. Even at this stage, it may still be found out as only an approximation, or only a part of the story, for example when experimental techniques become more precise. This has actually happened to Newton's "Laws" of motion.
Since it is called "the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle" it is neither a scientific law nor a theory. It is a principle.
In science, "theory" is the name applied to well-established scientific knowledge. It doesn't mean that there are doubts about the atomic theory.
B. Scientific law. Scientific laws describe a relationship between variables based on consistent patterns observed in experiments or observations, without providing an explanation for why this relationship exists. Hypotheses and theories, on the other hand, propose explanations for observed phenomena.
False. A scientific theory and a scientific law are not the same thing. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world, based on extensive evidence and experimentation, while a scientific law is a statement that describes a consistent and observable phenomenon, often expressed mathematically. Theories can evolve and change with new evidence, whereas laws are generally accepted as universally applicable under specific conditions.
A scientic law is universal and it formed after various tried and tested experiments .We also know its limtations and conditions .it cannot be changed .Example , Mendels law , newtons law of gravitation etc whereas theory generalise the constant results of experiments , theories can be improved and changed .example Darwin's theory of evolution On the other hand ,law cant be changed.
Mostly semantics. A "law" is a theory that can be expressed mathematically.
Scientific law means it WILL happen and i don't remeber scientific theroy. Sorry!
law is based on fact theory is a concept/idea
law is based on fact theory is a concept/idea
A scientific law is a statement of a pattern that has been observed. A theory is an explanation that has stood up to repeated test.
A scientific theory is an explanation supported by evidence and can be modified as new evidence is discovered. A scientific law is a description of a natural phenomenon that is consistent and often expressed mathematically, without explaining why it happens.
A scientific theory is an explanation of some natural phenomenon. A scientific law is a succinct statement of some aspect of a scientific theory.
A scientific theory is an explanation of some natural phenomenon. A scientific law is a succinct statement of some aspect of a scientific theory.
A natural law is an empirical observation held to be true. A theory explains why the law holds true.
A theory is an explanation of behavior, while a law is a summary of observed, measurable behavior.
A hypothesis is any concept concerning understanding something, anything. A (scientific) theory is a hypothesis which has been tested and found (so far) to be true. A "scientific law" is just a thumb-nail description of a theory (its never complete).
