For a gas at a temperature $T$,the root-mean-square velocity ${v_{rms}}$,the most probable speed ${v_{mp}}$,and the average speed ${v_{av}}$ obey the relationship:

  • A
    ${v_{av}} > {v_{rms}} > {v_{mp}}$
  • B
    ${v_{rms}} > {v_{av}} > {v_{mp}}$
  • C
    ${v_{mp}} > {v_{av}} > {v_{rms}}$
  • D
    ${v_{mp}} > {v_{rms}} > {v_{av}}$
