Diffusion

Does a cloud of random walkers spread according to the diffusion law?

▶ Launch the interactive simulation

How the lab tests it

Release particles from a point, track the mean-square displacement ⟨r²⟩(t), and recover the diffusion coefficient from its slope.

What it checks

⟨r²⟩ = 4Dt and the Einstein relation D = σ²/2Δt

This is one world in the PHS lab — 91 interactive simulations, each posing a question and measuring the answer. See the catalogued findings.
