उत्तर
- The particles, 'X' are dust particles.
- Gas 'Y' is Air.
- This phenomenon being exhibited by 'X' particles is called the Brownian motion.
- The fast moving air molecules are constantly hitting the tiny dust particles, causing them to move rapidly in a very haphazard manner.
- The gaseous matter ‘air’ is made up of tiny particles that are constantly moving.
