What is "Brownian movement"?
Posted August 26, 2024

Answer

“Brownian movement” refers to the erratic and random movement displayed by small particles suspended in a fluid. It is also known as Brownian motion. This phenomenon is named after Robert Brown, a Scottish botanist who first observed that pollen grains moved in random directions when put in water. The random movement is the result of the small particles colliding with other fast-moving particles in the fluid.
