If the pressure of the gas is kept constant, then the mean free path (\lambda) according to relation
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The mean free path of a gas molecule is given by
where is the diameter of the molecule and is the number of molecules per unit volume.
From the ideal gas equation, , which gives .
Substituting this into the expression for mean free path, we get
For a given gas at constant pressure, is constant. Therefore,
