NEET Physics Kinetic Interpretation of Temperature Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas. | Reason (R): Boltzmann's constant connects energy and temperature in kinetic theory.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as it reflects the proportional relationship between average kinetic energy and temperature. The reason correctly explains this relationship, as Boltzmann's constant is crucial in connecting energy with temperature in kinetic theory.
