Any minute particle suspended in a liquid (or gas) moves chaotically under the action of collisions with surrounding molecules. The intensity of this chaotic motion is increased with an increase in temperature. This experimental fact was discovered by a British scientist R.Brown in 1827.

The main physical principle of Brownian motion is that the mean kinetic energy of any molecule of a liquid (or gas) is equal to the mean kinetic energy of a particle suspended in this ambience. The mean kinetic energy of onward motion E can be written as 3kT/2, where k is the Boltzman constant, and T is the temperature. We can see from this formula that mean kinetic energy of Brownian motion is proportional to the temperature. With a random velocity, a Brownian particle will move in a tangled zigzag path, and will progress with time away from its initial location.

  • @Halfer1

    microscopes

  • @2qewl4u

    you are correct

  • LOLz

  • @kyleisreallycool good question!

    a one billion dollar question ;)

    - i offer some books about physical particles, but, there isnt clear answer now...

  • @SwhereNthing what are they the?

  • NUMNUMNUMNUMNUMNUMNUMNUMNUMNUM­NUMNUMNUM

    

  • The last comment was no need animations no vibration ................, when you clilk telephone0890463733 . It is not my user. I changed it into inventbyboonchai. let's click under this comment. inventbyboonchai.

  • No need animations, No vibration, No wind to blow balls, No need elastic band. Let's see my invention. It real process collision and this Brownian motion model is the future model. Let's see it by click inventbyboonchai under this comment and the most beautiful electronics frame in the world.

  • The big one is one of my balls, unlike the other ones whichh belong to xytos

  • @Xytos Hey man, pop a chill pill. It's cool.
