Question: In thermal equilibrium, the average velocity of gas molecules is
Options:
A) Proportional to $ \sqrt{T} $
B) Proportional to $ T^{2} $
C) Proportional to $ T^{3} $
D) Zero
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] $ v _{average}=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi M}} $
Therefore $ v _{av}\propto \sqrt{T} $
