In the kinetic theory of gases, the term 'mean free path' refers to:
Correct Answer: Mean free path
- Step 1: Understand that gases are made up of tiny particles called molecules.
- Step 2: Realize that these molecules are constantly moving around in random directions.
- Step 3: Know that as molecules move, they sometimes bump into each other.
- Step 4: The mean free path is the average distance a molecule travels before it hits another molecule.
- Step 5: This concept helps us understand how gases behave and how often collisions happen.
