NEET Physics Kinetic Interpretation of Temperature Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.
Reason (R): The Maxwell distribution describes the distribution of velocities among molecules in a gas.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is indeed directly proportional to the absolute temperature, as per kinetic theory. The Maxwell distribution describes how velocities are distributed but does not explain the proportionality of kinetic energy to temperature.
