Question

Temperature depends on the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample. How does this help with explaining why a plasma-based light does not have a high temperature?

No particles in the plasma have high kinetic energy.
The fastest particles have the greatest mass.
Most particles in the plasma are heavy and slow.
The fastest particles transfer most of their energy through collisions.

Answer 1

most particles in the plasma are heavy and slow would be the answer

Answer 2

" Most particles in the plasma are heavy and slow " explain why a plasma-based light does not have a high temperature.

So third option is correct one.

Relation temperature between average kinetic energy.

The temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy as,

K = 3RT/2NA

Where,

K = Average kinetic energy

R = Universal gas constant

T = Temperature

NA = Avogadro's number

So,  K ∝ T

Sine, plasma is heavy due to which its motion become slow. So, value of  kinetic energy decreases and temperature become high.
