Explanation
According to Graham's law, the diffusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Since helium's atomic weight is 4 times that of hydrogen, the diffusion rate ratio is √(4/1) = 2. Therefore, helium diffuses at 1/√2 times the rate of hydrogen, making the correct choice the square root of two.
