The temperature of anideal gas is increased from \(120 \mathrm{~K}\) to \(480 \mathrm{~K}\). If at \(120 \mathrm{~K}\), the root mean square speed of gas molecules is \(v\), then at \(480 \mathrm{~K}\) it will be

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 v\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{aligned} & \text { Hints: } \frac{\mathrm{V}_1}{\mathrm{~V}_2}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}} \\ & \frac{\mathrm{V}_1}{\mathrm{~V}_2}=\sqrt{\frac{120}{480}}-=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{1}{2} \\ & \mathrm{~V}_2=2 v \end{aligned} \]
