MHT CET 2022 Physics question

The translational kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas at absolute temperature (T) can be doubled by

(A)decreasing T to
(B)increasing T to 4T
(C)increasing T to
(D)increasing T to 2TCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

The average translational kinetic energy per molecule is , directly proportional to the absolute temperature. To double the kinetic energy, the temperature must be doubled to
