NEET Physics Kinetic Interpretation of Temperature MCQ Question
What is the relationship between the average kinetic energy of gas molecules and the temperature in kinetic theory?
It is directly proportional to the temperature.
It is inversely proportional to the temperature.
It remains constant regardless of temperature changes.
It varies with the molecular mass only.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The average kinetic energy of the molecules is given by (3/2) k_B T, indicating that it is directly proportional to the temperature T.
