Physics Question on kinetic theory

The root mean square velocity of molecules of gas is

A

Inversely proportional to square root of temperature (1T)\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{T}}\right)

B

Proportional to square root of temperature (T)(\sqrt{T})

C

Proportional to square of temperature (T2)\left(T^2\right)

D

Proportional to temperature (T)

Answer

Proportional to square root of temperature (T)(\sqrt{T})

Explanation

Solution

The rms speed of a gas molecule is
VRMS​=M3RT​​
VRMS​∝T​
