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

In an ideal gas at temperature \(T,\)  the average force that a molecule applies on the walls of a closed container depends on \(T\) as \(T^q\) . A good estimate for \(q\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Pressure, \(P=\frac{1}{3} \frac{m N}{V} V_{r m s}^{2}\) or, \(\quad P=\frac{(m N) T}{V}\) If the gas mass and temperature are constant then \(P \propto\left(V_{\max }\right)^{2} \propto T\) So, force \(\propto\left(V_{\text {rns }}\right)^{2} \propto T\) i.e., Value of \(q=1\)
