On any planet, the pressure of atmosphere implies (`C_(rms)` = root mean square velocity of molecules and `v_(e)` = escape velocity)

A

`C_(rms)ltltv_(e)`

B

`C_(rms)gtv_(e)`

C

`C_(rms)=v_(e)`

D

`C_(rms)=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since `C_(rms)ltltv_(e)`, hence molecules do not escape out.
