Transcribed Image Text:### Figure 16.2: One-dimensional Velocity Distributions
**Description:**
This figure presents the one-dimensional velocity distributions \( f(v_x) \) for Argon (Ar) gas at two different temperatures: 298 K and 1000 K.
**Graph Explanation:**
- **Horiziontal Axis (\( v_x/m \ s^{-1} \)):**
This axis represents the velocity component \( v_x \) in meters per second (m/s).
- **Vertical Axis (\( f(v_x) \)):**
This axis represents the distribution function \( f(v_x) \) which indicates the probability density of finding particles with a specific velocity component \( v_x \).
**Curves:**
- **Red Line:**
Represents the velocity distribution at 298 K.
- **Purple Line:**
Represents the velocity distribution at 1000 K.
**Key Observations:**
- **Peak and Spread:**
At 298 K, the distribution (red line) is narrower and has a higher peak, indicating higher probability of particles having a moderate velocity.
At 1000 K, the distribution (purple line) is broader and has a lower peak, indicating a wider range of particle velocities due to increased thermal energy.
This figure illustrates how increasing temperature affects the velocity distribution of gas particles, causing the distribution to widen and flatten as temperature rises.
