Experiment on Brownian motion
Apparatus: Microscope, Torchlight, Glass cell containing dust particles
Steps: 1) Set up a microscope
2) Seal the glass cell containing some smoke particles and place them under the microscope
3) Focus the microscope to see the smoke particles. the smoke particles will appear as bright dots.
Observation: 1) Smoke particles move in random motion and direction.
2) The larger the particles, the slower the motion
Conclusion: Irregular motion of smoke is due to uneven bombardment of air molecules of the smoke particles.
