The average velocity of gas molecules is 400 m/sec calculate its r.m.s. velocity at the same temperature.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(434 m/s)
U av = 
and U rms = 
∴ 
= 
= 
= 0.9216
or U av = 0.9216 × U rms
Given, U av = 400 m/s
or U rms = 
= 434.02 m/s
