NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing a Maxwell distribution curve for molecular speeds in a gas. Which aspect of this distribution remains constant even as individual molecular speeds change due to collisions?
The shape of the distribution curve
The speed of every individual molecule
The number of molecules with maximum speed
The temperature of the gas
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a state of equilibrium, the distribution of molecular speeds is constant, even though individual molecular speeds vary due to collisions. This is described in the Maxwell Distribution Function section.
