Q
Q: In the kinetic theory of gases, the term 'mean free path' refers to:
Solution:
The mean free path is defined as the average distance a molecule travels before colliding with another molecule.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
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.
