If a gas is compressed isothermally then the r.m.s. velocity of the molecules

  1. A remains the same.
  2. B increases.
  3. C decreases.
  4. D first decreases and then increases.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) remains the same.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The r.m.s. velocity of gas molecules is given by \(v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}\). In an isothermal process, the temperature (T) remains constant.
