A rigid container contains some ideal gas. Mean free path of the molecules is λ. If temperature of the gas is now doubled, mean free path of the molecules will be 

a
2 λ
b
4 λ
c
6 λ
d
λ

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Mean free path λ=12πd2xwhere d= diameter of molecule and n = Number of molecules per unit volume.Since the volume of the container remains uncharged, ‘n’ remains unchanged and hence mean free path remains unchanged.
