NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 11
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?
A
The shape of the distribution curve
B
The speed of every individual molecule
C
The number of molecules with maximum speed
D
The temperature of the gas
Correct Answer
Option A
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.
