Best Answer

A "Negative Experiment" is one where the expected result of the experiment is not found. These experiments are critically important and represent important work in Physics. The Michelson-Morley experiment, a "negative experiment" is one of the most important in the history of science. It was an test to measure the influence of the presumed etheric medium on a beam of light. No effect was found. Thus no ether.

In a scientific experiment what is the definition of a variable?

Pretty much as it is in math, something that is undefined, but in Science it needs to be defined or the experiment cant continue. Your variables are basically what you measure, what you change and your control, both positive and negative (one with a 100% percent positive result and another with a 100% negative result)


What happens if the experiment dose not confirm hypothesis?

This indicates that the hypothesis is probably incorrect and a new hypothesis needs to be developed. A negative result for a scientific experiment is just as important as a positive result and means that the experiment was a success.

What's a negative control?

A negative control is a control group in an experiment where the variables are not expected to have an effect. It helps researchers to determine if any observed effects are due to the treatment being tested or other factors.
