    Kinetic Theory of Gases

    3. Kinetic Interpretation of Temperature


    According to assumption of Kinetic theory of gases, there is only translation motion of the
    molecule and there is not any potential acting between them, so
    Average energy E of gases are equivalent to Average translation energy of a molecule

    Example: It is possible to treat electromagnetic radiation in container whose wall is mirrors, as
    a gas of particle (photons) with a constant speed c and whose energy is related to their
    momentum p which is directed parallel to their velocity by E  pc . Show that if container is
