What does Detectable really mean?

Sure, I'd be happy to help with that! "Detectable" means that something has the ability to be noticed or found. It's like when you lose your favorite pen in a messy room, and you're looking for it desperately. When you finally see it peeking out from under a pile of papers, it becomes detectable - it's now noticeable and you can find it.

In a more scientific sense, "detectable" could also mean that something can be identified or measured, like how a doctor might use a special machine to detect the presence of a virus in your body.

So, whether it's simply being noticeable or being able to be found or measured, "detectable" is all about being able to perceive or identify something. Does that make sense?
