ob·serv·a·ble  (b-zûrv-bl)
adj.
1. Possible to observe: observable phenomena; an observable change in demeanor. See Synonyms at noticeable.
2. Deserving or worthy of note; noteworthy: an observable anniversary.
n.
A physical property, such as weight or temperature, that can be observed or measured directly, as distinguished from a quantity, such as work or entropy, that must be derived from observed quantities.

ob·serva·bly adv.

observable  (b-zûrv-bl)
A measurable property of a physical system, such as mass or momentum. In quantum mechanics, observables correspond to mathematical operators used in the calculation of measurable quantities. Operators that do not commute, having a nonzero commutator, correspond to observables that cannot be precisely measured at the same time, such as momentum and position. See also uncertainty principle.
