Let `overlinev , v_("rms")` and `v_("p")` respectively denote the mean speed, the root-mean - square speed, and the most probable speed of the molecules in an ideal monoatomic gas at absolute temperature `T`. The mass of a molecule is m:-

A

No molecule can have speed greater than `sqrt(2)v_("rms")`

B

No molecule can have speed less than `(v_(p))/(sqrt(2))`

C

`v_(p) lt overlinev lt v_("rms")`

D

The average kinetic energy of a molecule is `(3)/(4) mv_(p)^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D
`V_(P) = sqrt((2kT)/(m)) , overlinev = sqrt((8kT)/(pim)) , V_("rms") = sqrt((3kT)/(m)) implies V_(P) lt overlinev lt V_("max") = (3)/(2) kT = (3)/(4)mv_(P)^(2)`
