    Suppose a container is evacuated to leave just one molecule of a gas in it. Let va and vrms represent the average speed and the rms speed of the gas.
    (a) va > vrms
    (b) va < vrms
    (c) va = vrms
    (d) vrms is undefined.
    digAnsr:   c
    Ans : Speed is constant and same for a single molecule. Thus, rms speed will be equal to its average speed.
    Thus,
    (c) is the correct answer.
