Hello!!
According to your question temperature is kept constant and mean free path is doubled thus,
Proceeding-
Solution :
λ∝1/P When mean free path is doubled, pressure becomes half.
So the answer would be simply p/2.
I really hope this helps you!!
Thank you!!
The mean free path is the distance that a molecule travels between collisions.
Let us denote it with L.
Now , after looking at the formula of mean free path , we can say that pressure is inversely proportional to mean free path.
Therefore , when mean free path of atom is doubled , pressure will become halved .
L =2x , then P= x/2.
