Best Answer

Saw Dust as well as other particles like Aluminum flakes and polyethylene particles were used as tracers. The velocity distribution of the liquid flow can be obtained by measuring the displacement of the tracer particles.

How do you find the refractive index of a liquid in a beaker by using a traveling microscope?

It is very simple. First let us fix a pin at the bottom of an empty beaker. Now focus at the pin and note down the reading in the vertical scale as R1. Now pour the given liquid and once again focus the pin and note down the reading R2. Now sprinkle saw dust over the surface of liquid and focus at the dust and note down the reading R3. Now refractive index of the liquid = actual depth / apparent depth So mu of liquid = R3-R1 / R3-R2

What is bvrownian motion?

That would be Brownian motion. That refers to small particles (for example, dust particles) suspended in a liquid or gas exhibiting random behavior - this is caused by liquid or gas molecules bumping into the dust particle.
