Question

Consider the two containers as shown. In both the containers same gas is present. Assuming that all the molecules are moving with v_rms as shown. It is given that time taken by an atom in one collision with a particular wall in first container is two times the time taken for same collision in the second container. What is the ratio of temperatures $\frac{T_{left}}{T_{right}}$?

• A. 16
• B. 1/16
• C. 1/8
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

1/16

Answer 2

Time between collision is $\frac{2\mathcal{l}}{v}$.
