An atmospheric probe descending through the cold upper clouds of Uranus has a sealed, rigid sensor chamber containing xenon gas. As the probe descends, the temperature of the xenon gas inside the chamber drops from 290 K to 80 K.
State the effect of this decrease in temperature on the motion of the xenon gas particles inside the chamber.
