NEET Physics Kinetic Interpretation of Temperature MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the kinetic interpretation of temperature is correct?
The average kinetic energy of gas molecules increases with temperature.
Temperature is independent of the average kinetic energy of molecules.
All gases have the same average kinetic energy at different temperatures.
Heavier gas molecules always have a higher root mean square speed at the same temperature.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the kinetic theory, the average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the temperature, which is supported by the equation relating average kinetic energy to temperature.
