Physics Question on Kinetic molecular theory of gases

At constant volume, temperature is increased. Then:

A

collisions will be in straight lines

B

collisions on walls will be less

C

number of collisions per unit time will increase

D

collisions will not change

Answer

number of collisions per unit time will increase

Explanation

Solution

We know that when the temperature increases, the average velocity also increases. Hence the collision becomes faster. Therefore die number of collisions per unit time will increase.
