The rms velocity of a gas molecule of mass ' \(m\) ' at a given temperature is proportional to

  1. A \(\mathrm{m}^{\circ}\)
  2. B m
  3. C \(\sqrt{m}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The rms velocity of a gas molecule of mass \(m\) is \(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{KT}}{\mathrm{m}}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{rms}} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{~m}}}\)
