Calculate Thermal Velocity



Formula

The formula to calculate the Thermal Velocity (Vth) is:

\[ Vth = \sqrt{\frac{k \cdot T}{m}} \]

Where:

What is Thermal Velocity?

Thermal velocity describes the speed of a particle based on its temperature and mass.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ Vth = \sqrt{\frac{1.380649 \times 10^{-23} \cdot 300}{1 \times 10^{-26}}} \]

\[ Vth = \sqrt{\frac{4.141947 \times 10^{-21}}{1 \times 10^{-26}}} = \sqrt{4.141947 \times 10^{5}} \approx 643.73 \text{ m/s} \]

The Thermal Velocity (Vth) is approximately 643.73 m/s.
