a)- Smoke particles: are used to show the behavior of air molecules since they are more visible than air molecules and light enough to move when bombarded by air molecules
-Lens: Focuses the light from the lamp on the smoke particle causing them to be observable.
- Microscope: Enlarges (Magnifies) the smoke particles so that they are visible.
b) The smoke particles are seen to be in constant random motion. The motion is caused by uneven
bombardment by invisible particles of air
c) the smoke particles would move faster.
