The mean free path \(l\) for a gas molecule depends upon the diameter, \(d\) of the molecule as:

1. \(l\propto \dfrac{1}{d^2}\) 2. \(l\propto d\)
3. \(l\propto d^2 \) 4. \(l\propto \dfrac{1}{d}\)

2. \( \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2} n^2 \pi {d}^2} \)

3. \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2} n^2 \pi^2 d^2} \)

4. \( \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2} n \pi {d}}\)
