Question
What is the temperature at which the rms speed of helium atoms is 1000 m/s? (Atomic mass of He = 4 u, k_B = 1.38 × 10â»Â²Â³ J K^{-1)
Explanation
Given:
What is the temperature at which the rms speed of helium atoms is 1000 m/s? (Atomic mass of He = 4 u, k_B = 1.38 × 10â»Â²Â³ J K^{-1)
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
v_{rms = sqrt3k_B T/m, m = frac4 × 10â»Â³â¶.02 × 10²³= 6.64 × 10â»Â²â· kg.
This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon.
Substitution & Calculation:
1000² = frac3 × 1.38 × 10â»Â²Â³ × T6.64 × 10â»Â²â·, T = frac10ⶠ× 6.64 × 10â»Â²â·â´.14 × 10â»Â²Â³ approx 1604 K .
Result:
The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kgâ»Â¹ Kâ»Â¹, m/s², 10â»âµ are properly used as per NCERT.
