Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

[/B] De – Broglie wavelength of ## O_2 ## molecule is ## \lambda = \frac h p ##

Assuming that the speed of molecule is small enough to take non – relativistic calculation,

## \frac { p^2}{2m} = \frac { 3 k_B T }2 ##

## \lambda = 2.6 * 10^{-11}~ m ##

So, the correct option is (a).
