उत्तर
We know from kinetic theory of gases that the average translational energy per molecule is \[\frac{3}{2}kT\].
Now,
Eavg= 0.040 eV = \[0.040 \times 1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 19} = 6 . 4 \times {10}^{- 21} J\]
\[6 . 40 \times {10}^{- 21} = \frac{3}{2} \times 1 . 38 \times {10}^{- 23} \times T\]
\[ \Rightarrow T = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{6 . 40 \times {10}^{- 21}}{1 . 38 \times {10}^{- 23}} = 309 . 2 \text { K }\]
