NEET Physics Kinetic Interpretation of Temperature MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the kinetic interpretation of temperature is correct?
At a constant temperature, the average kinetic energy of molecules of different gases is the same.
Temperature is directly proportional to the speed of the heaviest molecules in a gas.
Lighter molecules have lower root mean square speed at the same temperature as heavier molecules.
The kinetic theory suggests that temperature does not affect the pressure of a gas.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The kinetic theory states that at equilibrium, the average kinetic energy of the molecules of different gases will be equal at the same temperature, as indicated in the context discussing the relationship between average kinetic energy and temperature.
