Step-by-step solution

The average time taken by a moving particle between successive collisions or impacts is referred to as the mean free time (τ)\left(τ\right).

The average distance a moving particle travels between successive collisions or impacts is referred to as the mean free path (λ)\left(\lambda\right).

λ=kT2πd2P\lambda = \dfrac{kT}{\sqrt{2}\pi{d}^{2}P}

and vrms=3RTM{v}_{rms} = \sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}}

So, the mean free time τ=λvrmsτ = \dfrac{\lambda}{{v}_{rms}}

Therefore, τ∝1Tτ ∝ \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{T}}
