$A$ cubical box with porous walls containing an equal number of ${O_2}$ and ${H_2}$ molecules is placed in a large evacuated chamber. The entire system is maintained at constant temperature $T$. The ratio of the ${v_{rms}}$ of ${O_2}$ molecules to that of the ${v_{rms}}$ of ${H_2}$ molecules,found in the chamber outside the box after a short interval,is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2}$
