NEET 2023 Physics Root Mean Square Speed MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

The temperature of a gas is –50° C. To what temperature the gas should be heated so that the rms speed is increased by 3 times?

A

3295° C

B

3097 K

C

223 K

D

669° C

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The rms speed v_rms is proportional to the square root of temperature (T). If v_rms is increased by 3 times, T must increase by 9 times. Initial T = 223 K, so final T = 9 * 223 K = 2007 K, which is approximately 3097 K.
