[ adjective ] so small as to be meaningless; insignificant
Examples "the effect was negligible" Used in print (Cornell H. Mayer, "Radio Emission of the Moon...)The radio_radiation of the sun which is reflected from the moon and planets should be negligible compared with their thermal_emission at centimeter wave_lengths , except possibly at times of exceptional outbursts of solar radio_noise . The ratio of the measured antenna temperature_change during a drift scan across the moon to the average brightness temperature of the moon over the antenna beam ( assuming that the brightness temperature of the sky is negligible ) was found , by graphical integration of the antenna directivity diagram , to be 0.85 . (Raymond C. Binder et al., editors, Proceedings...)The anode ablation could be reduced to a negligible amount . It is sufficiently small compared with the surface temperature of the anode holder , to make the energy flux radiated from the environment toward the anode holder negligible within the accuracy of the present measurements . (Harry H. Hull, "The Normal Forces and Their Ther...)Two of the fluids showed a high positive normal pressure when undergoing shear , and two showed small negative pressures which were negligible in_comparison_with the amount of the positive pressures generated by the other two .
