Study Notes
Brownian Motion
- Random motion of particles suspended in a medium is described as Brownian motion
- Robert Brown first observed the phenomenon in 1827 while looking through a microscope at pollen grains suspended in water
- The overall motion pattern of particles in a fluid at thermal equilibrium is constant, irregular, and zigzag
