The average free path at 1 atm pressure ...

The average free path at `1 atm` pressure is `L`. What should be its value at `5 atm` pressure?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since average free path
`l=(kT)/(sqrt(2)sigma^(2)P)`
`:. L prop (1)/(P)`
Hence, at `5 atm` pressure, the average free path is
`l=(L)/(5)`
