Question

What is the zig zag motion.

Answer 1

Answer:

A motion in which the particles undergoing motion are making sharp angles is known as zigzag motion. For example, the needle of the ECG machine makes zigzag motion on the graph sheet.

Answer 2

The phenomenon of Brownian motion was observed by Robert Brown in the form of random zig-zag motion of pollen grains suspended in water. This kind of movement is found in all colloidal systems. Such random motion is visible under ultramicroscopes and for bigger particles even under ordinary microscopes.
