MCQ
A sealed container with negligible coefficient of volumetric expansion contains helium (a monoatomic gas). When it is heated from $300\, K$ to $600\, K,$ the average $K.E.$ of helium atoms is
  • A
    Halved
  • B
    Unchanged
  • Doubled
  • D
    Increased by factor $\sqrt 2 $

Answer

Correct option: C.
Doubled
c
Kinetic energy $\propto$ temperature,
​so if the temperature is doubled, its kinetic energy will also be doubled.
