Question

The root mean square velocity, v_rms, the average velocity v_av and the most probable velocity, v_mp of the molecules of the gas are in the order –

• A. v_mp>v_av>v_rms
• B. v_rms>v_av>v_mp
• C. v_av>v_mp>v_rms
• D. v_mp>v_rms>v_av

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

v_rms>v_av>v_mp

Answer 2

Q $\begin{matrix} v_{rms} > v_{av} > v_{mp} \end{matrix}$
