Q 1 :    

The mean free path for a gas, with molecular diameter d and number density n can be expressed as        [2020]
 

  • 12nπd

     

  • 12nπd2

     

  • 12n2πd2

     

  • 12n2π2d2

     

(2)

Mean free path for a gas, λ=12nπd2

 



Q 2 :    

The mean free path of molecules of a gas, (radius r) is inversely proportional to            [2014]
 

  • r3

     

  • r2

     

  • r

     

  • r

     

(2)

Mean free path, λ=12nπd2

where n is the number density and d is the diameter of the molecule.

As  d=2r,         λ=142nπr2  or  λ1r2
