A gas is compressed isothermally . The rms velocity of its molecules

A

increases

B

decreases

C

first increases and then decreases

D

remains the same

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The root mean square velocity of a gas molecule is given by
`C_("rms") = sqrt((3RT)/(M))`
Gas is compressed isothermally , so . T remains constant and hence , root mean square velocity will remain same .
