Q40JEE Main 2023 · 25 JAN · SHIFT 1Easy

Molecular Speeds & Maxwell Distribution

The root mean square velocity of molecules of gas is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. vrms=3RTMv_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}
  2. For a given gas vrms∝Tv_{rms} \propto \sqrt{T}.
  3. So the answer is (d).
