A vessel of volume V contains a mixture of 1 mole of hydrogen and 1 mole oxygen (both considered as ideal). Let `f_(1)(v) dv,` denote the fraction of molecules with speed between v and (v+ dv) with `f_(2)(v)dv`, similarly for oxygen . Then ,

Options

A. `f_(1)(v) +f_(2) (v) =f(v)`obeys the Maxwell's distribution law
B. `f_(1)(v),f_(2)(v)` will obey the Maxwell's distribution law separately
C. neither `f_(1) (v), " nor "f_(2) (v)` will obey the Maxwell's distribution law
D. `f_(2) (v) " and "f_(1) (v)` will be the same

Explanation

For a function f(v), the number of molecules n=f(v), which are having speeds between v and +dv.
For each function `f_(1) (v) " and " f_(2)(v)`, n will be different . Hence each fucntion `f_(1)(v) " and "f_(2)(v)` will obey the maxwell's distribution law separately.
