JEE Revision - Gas Molecules - Probable velocities - Temperature

average, root mean square and most probable velocities and their relation with temperature;


Molecular Speeds

From the expression for kinetic temperature

substitution gives the root mean square (rms) molecular velocity:

From the Maxwell speed distribution this speed as well as the average and most probable speeds can be calculated.
