The phenomenon of Brownian motion is the random motion of microscopically small particles as they are buffeted

Question:

The phenomenon of Brownian motion is the random motion of microscopically small particles as they are buffeted by the still smaller molecules of a fluid in which they are suspended. For a particle of mass 1.0 × 10−16 kg, the fluctuations in velocity are of the order of 0.010 m/s. For comparison, how large is the change in this particle's velocity when the particle absorbs a photon of light with a wavelength of 660 nm, such as might be used in observing its motion under a microscope?
