Q99 / 180 · NEET 2020 (Phase 1) · Physics

The mean free path for a gas, with molecular diameter d and number density n can be expressed as:

  • Correct answer
    A
    12nπd2
  • B
    12n2πd2
  • C
    12n2π2d2
  • D
    12nπd

Solution

Mean free path for a gas sample

λm=12πd2n

where d is diameter of a gas molecule and n is molecular density

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
