Question:
According to Maxwells law of distribution of velocities of molecules, the most probable velocity is
According to Maxwells law of distribution of velocities of molecules, the most probable velocity is
Updated On: Jul 2, 2022
- greater than the mean velocity
- equal to the mean velocity
- equal to the root mean square velocity
- less than the root mean square velocity
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
From Maxwells velocity distribution law, we infer that $v_{rms} > v >v_{mp}$ ie, most probable velocity is less than the root mean square velocity.
