Two containers $A$ and $B$ contain an ideal gas at the same temperature. If the masses of the molecules are $m_A$ and $m_B$ respectively,what is the relationship between their momenta $p_A$ and $p_B$?

  • A
    $p_A = p_B$
  • B
    $p_A = \left( \frac{m_A}{m_B} \right)^{1/2} p_B$
  • C
    $p_A = \left( \frac{m_B}{m_A} \right)^{1/2} p_B$
  • D
    $p_A = \left( \frac{m_A}{m_B} \right) p_B$
