Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Most particles in the plasma are heavy and slow.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, one must remember that the temperature has a directly proportional relationship with the kinetic energy which is related with the energy content and motion of the molecules composing a system. In such a way, since plasma particles are heavy and slow, the kinetic energy associated with them is low which implies a low temperature as well when using them, in this manner, that low temperature helps plasma based light to be efficient with no high heating unlike traditional ways to produce light with electric energy circuits.

Best regards.

Answer 2

Most particles in the plasma are heavy and slow and this statement explains why a plasma based light does not have a high temperature. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option. It is a fact that a heavy nuclei always takes more time to reach a thermal equilibrium.
