When the rms velocity of a gas is denoted by $V$, which of the following relation is true? ( $T=$ absolute temperature of the gas)
  1. $\frac{V^2}{T}=$ constant
  2. $V T^2=$ constant
  3. $\frac{V}{T^2}=$ constant
  4. $V^2 T=$ constant

Solution

RMS velocity is given by $\begin{aligned} V & =\sqrt{\frac{3 k T}{m}} \\ V^2 & =\frac{3 k T}{m}\end{aligned}$ For a gas, $k$ and $m$ are constants, so option A is true.
