Three containers of the same volume contain three different gases. The masses of the molecules are $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$ and the number of molecules in their respective containers are $N_1, N_2$ and $N_3$. The gas pressure in the containers are $P_1, P_2$ and $P_3$ respectively. All the gases are now mixed and put in one of these containers. The pressure P of the mixture will be
- $P < (P_1 + P_2 + P_3)$
- $P = \frac{P_1 + P_2 + P_3}{3}$
- $ P = P_1 + P_2 + P_3$
- $ P > (P_1 + P_2 + P_3)$
The Correct Option is C

Top Questions on kinetic theory
- The equation for the RMS velocity is given as \[ v_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M_0}} \] where \( R \) is the gas constant, \( T \) is the temperature, and \( M_0 \) is the molecular mass. If the temperature is increased, find the new RMS velocity \( v_{\text{rms}} \) when the temperature is doubled.}

- A cubical box of side 1 m contains Boron gas at a pressure of 100 Nm$^{-2}$. During an observation time of 1 second, an atom travelling with the rms speed parallel to one of the edges of the cube, was found to make 500 hits with a particular wall, without any collision with other atoms. The total mass of gas in the box in gram is:

Consider a rope fixed at both ends under tension so that it is horizontal (i.e. assume the rope is along x-axis, with gravity acting along z-axis). Now the right end is continually oscillated at high frequency n (say n=100 Hz) horizontally and in a direction along the rope; amplitude of oscillation is negligible. The oscillation travells along the rope and is reflected at the left end.
Let the total length of rope be l, total mass be m and the acceleration due to gravity be g.
After initial phase (say a mintue or so), the rope has __(BLANK-1)__ wave, which is __(BLANK-2)__ in nature. It results from superposition of left travelling and right travelling __(BLANK-3)__ waves. This resulting wave has a frequency __ (BLANK-4)_ that of oscillation frequency nu. Simple dimensional analysis indicates that the frequency of can be of the form: ___(BLANK-5)__ .- IIITH UGEE - 2024
