Plot of Maxwell's distribution of velocities is given below :

which of the following is correct about this plot?

  1. A \( T_{1} < T_{2} \)
  2. B \( \mathrm{f}_{1}>\mathrm{f}_{2} \)
  3. C \( T_{1}>T_{2} \)
  4. D \( O V_{1} < V_{2} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( T_{1}>T_{2} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In Maxwell's distribution of velocities, the curve shifts forward and downward at higher temperature
Therefore \( T_{1}>T_{2}, v_{1}>v_{2} \) and \( f_{2}>f_{1} \)
