How to create a particle counter in MATLAB?

Hi. I have a task where I'm supposed to create a code where it can count the cumulative number of air particles that a person can produce while breathing in a room within a period of time, then present it in a graph. How can i do that? Thanks in advance!

You could use MATLAB if you had some formula for number of particles as a function of time. Then use plot

Hi Nisrina,
To count the cumulative number of air particles emitted by a person while breathing in a room over time, estimate the emission rate and integrate it. Determine the emission rate based on research or estimation. Then, use the obtained rate to calculate the cumulative count and plot the graph using the code given below:
% Particle emission rate (particles per minute)
emission_rate = 100;
% Time period (in minutes)
time_period = 60;
% Calculate the cumulative count
cumulative_count = emission_rate * time_period;
% Create time values for plotting
time_values = 0:time_period;
% Create cumulative count values for plotting
cumulative_count_values = time_values*cumulative_count;
% Plot the cumulative count
plot(time_values, cumulative_count_values);
xlabel('Time (minutes)');
ylabel('Cumulative Count of Particles');
title('Cumulative Count of Air Particles Emitted');
grid on;
I hope this helps.
