What makes gas molecules moving fast at high tempeature?

Featured Replies

We know very well gas molecules moving fast at high temperature.

Then, what makes gas molecules moving fast at high temperature?

Low temperature -------> high temperature

How to change radiation energy to kinetic energy?

Because temperature is nothing more than kinetic energy of molecules. A high temperature means the molecules have a high kinetic energy. Ek = 0.5 m v²

How to change radiation energy to kinetic energy?

Have the light scatter off of the atoms. It's most efficient when the light is resonant, but happens in general.

This is a temperature changed state on the solid surface.

The waves changed from long wave to short wave.

How the wave change effects the movement of molecules?

It might help to point out that the atoms from which the surface is composed will be vibrating more strongly when it is hot. If the gas is cold and the solid warm then the gas molecules that hit it will be bounced off faster than they were moving before they hit it.
