Question:medium
The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is directly proportional to
The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is directly proportional to
Show Hint
Distinguish between "average velocity" (proportional to \(\sqrt{T}\)) and "average kinetic energy" (proportional to \(T\)). This is a very frequent confusion in competitive exams.
