Why is there a haphazard motion of smoke particles seen in a smoke cell which is viewed through a microscope?
It's called Brownian motion. It's caused by atoms and molecule zipping about (because of the energy they have as a result of being warm) colliding with the smoke particles and bumping them around. It would happen less if the smoke was very cold because the atoms and molecules would move less. Conversely, if you increased the temperature of the smoke the motion would be greater
How a smoke particle move?
A smoke particle moves in a jerky motion.They are constantly moving about and changing direction. This is due to the smoke particle colliding with the air particle which gives it a 'push'.The direction of the push changes at random.This collision happens repeatedly,at random,with each smoke particle. This motion is called 'Brownian motion'. Cheers!
What is seen when viewing a smoke particle through the microscope?
Bright particles of smoke seen moving against a dark background.
What type of energy is smoke?
smoke is not energy ... it is that smoke particles take way heat from the origin(cigar or something )...
What are the everyday uses of Beta particles?
Beta particles are often used in smoke detectors.
Why did smoke particles move in air?
Due to the random brownian motion of molecules
What movement of the smoke particles tells about movement of air particles that cannot be seen?
Brownian Motion
What is random motion with an example?
One example of motion is a ball rolling down a hill. During such motion, the ball's kinetic energy is increasing and its potential energy is decreasing.

Would you Give me two example of brownian?
a similar ir-regular dance can be observed from movement of small particles of smoke in atmosphere. An example like brownian motion can b observed in daily life when beam of light enters in a dark room...
What is the term for mixing gases or liquid molecules by random molecular motion?
Gases and liquids are called fluids.Due to the kinetic energy of the atoms/molecules of the fluids they vibrate hence result in a contant mixing or motion of the molecules. Experiments which prove the motion-Brownian motion,Smoke cell
What is the name of the motion when smoke particles move around?
i dont know
What are smoke particles?
smoke is a suspenison of what particles ?
What is bigger gas particles or smoke particles?
smoke particles are bigger than gas particles.
Why does your smoke alarm suddenly flash a white light intermittently?
when alpha particles are accelerated between the electrified parallel plates, a few electrons of charged particles are energised and then eject a flash of light on return to original energy level. the probability of this happening is random due to the narrow conditions necessary for such phenomenon. ionising smoke detectors have a small [1 micro curie alpha source] that ejects alpha particles into an electric field. if the flow of alpha particles is prevented [by smoke particles], an alarm is sounded.
Why drop of ink can spread in a beaker without stirring?
This is called diffusion. If you just leave the ink in the beaker for a while, it will eventually spread out around the beaker and all of the water will have color. For example: This is just like a restaurant, there is non-smoking half of the restaurant and there is a smoking half. The smoke will eventually spread out front he smoking corner to the non-smoking corner. Another example: If you pee in the pool, the pee will eventually spread out through the pool.
