Question: Temperature of a body is only on manifestation of the mean

Options:

A) total mechanical energy of a molecule of the body

B) potential energy of a molecule of the body

C) rotational kinetic energy of a molecule of the body

D) translational kinetic energy of a molecule of the body

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] Mean translational K.E. of any molecule whether monoatomic, diatomic or polyatomic, at a given temperature T is $ \frac{3}{2} $ kT.
