Select the incorrect statement about Maxwell's speed distribution

Question

Select the incorrect statement about Maxwell's speed distribution (A) The distribution function depends only on the absolute temperature (B) V text rms >Va v>Vm p (C) The area under the distribution curve gives total number of molecules of the gas (D) The distribution curve is symmetric about the most probable speed

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The Maxwell’s speed distribution is asymmetric due to the fact that the lowest speed possible is zero. While the highest speed possible is infinity

Q. Select the incorrect statement about Maxwell's speed distribution

The distribution function depends only on the absolute temperature

$V_{rms} > V_{a v} > V_{m p}$

The area under the distribution curve gives total number of molecules of the gas

The distribution curve is symmetric about the most probable speed
