Kinetic theory of gases was put forward by
  • A
    Einstein
  • B
    Newton
  • Maxwell
  • D
    Raman

Answer

Correct option: C.
Maxwell
c
Kinetic theory of gases was put forward by Maxwell. British Scientist Moxwell and Australian physicist Boltzmann, in the $19 th$ century, led in establishing the theory.
It is a theory based on a simplified molecular or particle description of a gas, from which many gross properties of the gas can be derieved.

Objects $A$ and $B$ that are initially separated from each other and well isolated from their surroundings are then brought into thermal contact. Initially $T_A= 0^oC$ and $T_B = 100^oC$. The specific heat of $A$ is less than the specific heat of $B$. After some time, the system comes to an equilibrium state. The final temperatures are :
