Model Experiment of Two-Dimentional Brownian Motion by Microcomputer.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mishima, Nobuhiko; And Others – American Journal of Physics, 1980
Describes the use of a microcomputer in studying a model experiment (Brownian particles colliding with thermal particles). A flow chart and program for the experiment are provided. Suggests that this experiment may foster a deepened understanding through mutual dialog between the student and computer. (SK)
