JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 12 . kinetic theory of gases

An ideal gas in a closed container is slowly heated. As its temperature increases, which of the following statements are true\(?\) \((A)\) the mean free path of the molecules decreases. \((B)\) the mean collision time between the molecules decreases. \((C)\) the mean free path remains unchanged. \((D)\) the mean collision time remains unchanged.

  1. A \((C)\) and \((D)\)
  2. B \((A)\) and \((B)\)
  3. C \((A)\) and \((D)\)
  4. D \((B)\) and \((C)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((B)\) and \((C)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The mean free path of molecules of an ideal gas is given as \(\lambda=\frac{ V }{\sqrt{2} \pi d ^{2} N }\) \(V =\) Volume of container where: \(N =\) No of molecules Hence with increasing temp since volume of container does not change (closed container), so mean free path is…
