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

In a dilute gas at pressure \(P\) and temperature \(T\), the mean time between successive collisions of a molecule varies with \(T\) as

  1. A \(\sqrt{ T }\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{ T }\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{ T }}\)
  4. D \(T\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{ T }}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v _{ avg } \propto \sqrt{ T }\) \(t _{0}:\) mean time \(\lambda:\) mean free path \(t _{0}=\frac{\lambda}{ v _{avg }} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{ T }}\)
