Plot of Maxwell's distribution of velocities is given below : which of the following is correct about this plot?
Options
- A( T₁ < T₂ )
- B( f ₁> f ₂ )
- C( T₁>T₂ )
- D( O V₁ < V₂ )
Correct answer
C. ( T₁>T₂ )
Step-by-step solution
In Maxwell's distribution of velocities, the curve shifts forward and downward at higher temperature Therefore ( T₁>T₂, v₁>v₂ ) and ( f₂>f₁ )
