This set of Class 11 Physics Chapter 13 Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Kinetic Theory – Molecular Nature of Matter”.
1. What is meant by mean free path?
a) It is the average distance a molecule travels without colliding
b) Average distance between 2 molecules
c) Average distance travelled by a molecule before colliding with a wall of the container
d) Sum of distance travelled by all molecules
View Answer

2. Which of the following states of matter has the maximum value of mean free path?
a) Gas
b) Solid
c) Liquid
d) Plasma
