At a temperature of $314 \,K$ and a pressure of $100 \,kPa$, the speed of sound in a gas is $1380 \,ms^{-1}$. The radius of each gas molecule is $0.5 \,Å$. The frequency of sound at which the wavelength of the sound wave in the gas becomes equal to the mean free path of the gas molecules is (Boltzmann constant $k = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \,JK^{-1}$):

  • A
    $1000 \,MHz$
  • B
    $1000 \sqrt{2} \,MHz$
  • C
    $\frac{1000}{\sqrt{2}} \,MHz$
  • D
    $500 \,MHz$
