MHT CET 2023 Physics question

The temperature of a gas is measure of

(A)the average kinetic energy of gas moleculesCorrect
(B)the average potential energy of gas molecules
(C)the average between the molecules of a gas
(D)the size of the molecules of a gas

Answer: (A)

Solution

From the kinetic theory of gases, the average translational kinetic energy per molecule is , so the absolute temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules, option (a). For an ideal gas the
