Contribution grade

Physics · Scoped scientific or research-capability contribution

Reference score160,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Related the irregular motion of suspended particles to molecular thermal motion through a quantitative diffusion relation.

Scientific scope

Related the irregular motion of suspended particles to molecular thermal motion through a quantitative diffusion relation. Scope limitation: This theoretical prediction is distinct from Perrin’s later measurements and from the prior observation of Brownian motion.

Evidence

Assessment uses the catalogue-linked source evidence for the stated contribution. This theoretical prediction is distinct from Perrin’s later measurements and from the prior observation of Brownian motion.
