Let $\bar{v}$,${v_{rms}}$ and ${v_p}$ respectively denote the mean speed,root mean square speed,and most probable speed of the molecules in an ideal monoatomic gas at absolute temperature $T$. The mass of a molecule is $m$. Then

  • A
    No molecule can have speed less than ${v_p}/\sqrt{2}$
  • B
    The average kinetic energy of a molecule is $\frac{3}{4}mv_p^2$
  • C
    ${v_p} < \bar{v} < {v_{rms}}$
  • D
    Both $(b)$ and $(c)$
