Brownian Motion: Diffusion
Diffusion is the movement of particles from higher to lower concentration, and is a kind of Brownian motion. Other factors like increased temperature, an increase in particles or their size, or atmospheric changes can affect the rate of motion.
Some examples include:
- The Movement of dust motes in a room.
- Diffusion of pollutants on the atmosphere.
- The movement of holes of electrical charge in semiconductors.

This dust gets kicked up into the atmosphere and from a distance makes t...
