Which of the following is true for Maxwell Boltzmann distribution curve?

It represents a plot of curve between fraction of molecules and kinetic energy.

The correct answer is option 3. It represents a plot of curve between fraction of molecules and kinetic energy.

Ludwig Boltzmann and James Clark Maxwell used statistics to predict the behaviour of large number of molecules. According to them, the distribution of kinetic energy may be described by plotting the fraction of molecules (N_E /N_T) with a given kinetic energy (E) vs kinetic energy (Fig. 4.8). Here, N_E is the number of molecules with energy E and N_T is total number of molecules.
