Suppose a container is evacuated to leave just one molecule of a gas in it. Let `v_(a)` and `v_(rms)` represents the average speed and the rms speed of the gas.

A

`v_(a) gt v_(rms)`

B

`v_(a) lt v_(rms)`

C

`v_(a) = v_(rms)`

D

`v_(rms)` is undefined

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since there is only one molecule
`bar(v) = v_(rms)`
