If the distribution of molecular speeds of a gas is as per the figure shown below, then the ratio of the most probable, the average, and the root mean square speeds, respectively, is
- $1: 1: 1$
- $1: 1: 1.224$
- $1: 1.128: 1.224$
- $1: 1.128: 1$
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In a symmetrical graph, the average value of speed corresponds to the midpoint, which is also the most probable speed.
However, when calculating the root mean square (rms) speed, we compute the average of the squares of the speeds and then take the square root. Since higher speeds contribute more to the squared value, the result will be higher than the average speed value.
So the Correct Option is (B): $1: 1: 1.224$

- Differential equations
The left and right compartments of a thermally isolated container of length $L$ are separated by a thermally conducting, movable piston of area $A$. The left and right compartments are filled with $\frac{3}{2}$ and 1 moles of an ideal gas, respectively. In the left compartment the piston is attached by a spring with spring constant $k$ and natural length $\frac{2L}{5}$. In thermodynamic equilibrium, the piston is at a distance $\frac{L}{2}$ from the left and right edges of the container as shown in the figure. Under the above conditions, if the pressure in the right compartment is $P = \frac{kL}{A} \alpha$, then the value of $\alpha$ is ____
