null hypothosis
refers to a statement that there is no relationship between two measured phenomena, between Independent and Dependent variables
Independent variable
The variable that is manipulated, can be considered the cause in cause and effect
Dependent variable
Measured in the experiment, changes bc of the independent variable, can be considered the effect in cause and effect
Control variable
All factors that are kept the same, everything except the independent variable, keeps experiment fair
Experimental group
Study objects experiencing influence of independent variable
Control group
Studies objects in all ways similar to experimental group, placed in all same conditions as experimental except the influence of the independent variable
alternate hypothosis
there is a significant relationship between independent and dependent variable
3 random saftey things around lab
fire extinguisher, fire blanket, first aid kit
independent variable
the variable changed or manipulated, CAUSE in cause effect
dependent variable
measured, changes based on independent variable, EFFECT in cause/effect
constant/controlled variable
all factors in experiment that are kept the same, everything except independent
experiment group
study objects experiencing influence independent variable
control group
study objects all ways similar to exp group, placed in all same conditions, except the influence of independent variable

:-)
magnification
factor by which image is magnified, caulcuated by multiplying power of ocular times the objective, max is 1000x
resolving power
ability to distinguish 2 objects as seperate, usually calculated as distance between 2 objects, max resolution of about .2 microm
contrast
apparent differences of images against a background, to increase, dyes are usually added
scanning objective
4x, red, calculated to be 40x
lower power objective
10x, yellow, calculated to be 100x
high power objective
40x, blue, calculated to be 400x
