Statement-1 : Maxwell speed distribution...

Statement-1 : Maxwell speed distribution graph is
asymmetric about most probable speed.
Statement-2 : rms speed of ideal gas, depends upon it’s type
(monoatomic, diatomic and polyatomic).

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Maxwell speed distribution graph is an asymmetric graph, because it has a long "tail" that extends to infinity.

Also `v_(rms)` depends upon nature of gas and it.s temperature.
