Kinetic Theory Of Gases Question 126
Question: The root mean square velocity of a gas molecule of mass m at a given temperature is proportional to
Options:
A) $ m^{0} $
B) m
C) $ \sqrt{m} $
D) $ \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
[d] $ v _{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3kT}{m}}=v _{rms}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}} $
