Suppose a container is evacuated to leave just one molecule of a gas in it. Let `v_(mp)` and `v_(av)` represent the most probable speed and the average speed of the gas, then

A

`v_(mp) gt v_(av)`

B

`v_(mp) lt v_(av)`

C

`v_(mp) = v_(av)`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
One molecules has some single value of speed which is equal most probabla speed and average speed of the gas
`:. V_(mp) = V_(av)`.
