Particles are small bits, discrete portions, as of or from a larger whole. Light photons (energy) sometimes act similarly to particles of matter.

Atomic particles (subatomic particles) are individual components, or groups of components, that make up atoms, or are created from atoms, or that interact with them.

What is the process for conducting a mean square displacement calculation?

To conduct a mean square displacement calculation, you first need to track the position of a particle over time. Then, calculate the squared distance the particle has moved from its starting point at each time interval. Finally, average these squared distances to find the mean square displacement, which represents the average distance the particle has traveled from its starting point over time.


What is the mean square displacement formula used to calculate in the context of particle movement?

The mean square displacement formula is used to calculate the average distance a particle moves from its starting point over a period of time. It is calculated by squaring the distance traveled by the particle at each time step, summing these values, and then dividing by the total number of time steps.


When is the velocity vector of a particle tangent to the path of the particle?

The velocity vector of a particle is tangent to the path of the particle at any point. This is because velocity is a vector that points in the direction of motion of the particle at that particular instant.


How do the mass and size of an alpha particle compare with mass and size of beta particle?

The mass and size of an alpha particle compare with the masa and size of beta particle in the sense that the alpha particle is significantly larger in both size and mass that the beta and gamma particles. This is why it is called the alpha particle.
