I'm from India. And I'm in High school (11th grade), and My teacher taught us this in class but I consider this as a little complicated. But ur explanation makes it easy. And the orange bow looks so cute too

[@juniorcyans2988]

Very cool! You just combined/connected what I learned so far in my classes of math, chemistry and physics in a single problem! I really enjoy it! It’s so fun!

I feel the need to thank you still. This video helped me tremendously. I don’t know what it was, but my brain was shattered when my professor skipped steps 1-all of them and came up with the final product. Sincerely, thank you!

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Glad we were able to help

[@saxmanrex]

Michel, that was a fantastic presentation. Bravo! I am about to take over a position as an instructor, and I have found your videos to be the most valuable on Maxwell-Boltzmann. In our application, we will be looking at the speed of neutrons. I learned a lot from your intructor techniques, and especially like how you simplified the differention process by substituting in C2. I will try to modify your lecture and apply it to the classes that I teach to my students. Thank you again!

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Rex. That is great! Good luck with your new position. We all learn from one another. I had some very good instructors when I was in school and I always aspired to be like them when I had a chance to stand in front of a classroom.

[@Onoesmahpie]

To anyone interested in an easy derivation of this equation, we only need to make 2 (really 1) very simple assumption[s]: 1) A particle's energy in one direction doesn't influence the probability distribution of its energy in any other (perpendicular) direction. Put simply, P(E_x)P(E_y)P(E_z)=P(E_x+E_y+E_z)Or, even more simply, the velocity distribution is 'random'. 2) Probability distribution over speed (i.e., over kinetic energy) is continuous (precise speed measurement should correlate to a precise probability measurement). This really is just saying that our measurements need to make sense (probability measurement needs to be consistent, in the classical sense), so it's not an additional 'physics' assumption, really. Combining (1) and (2) shows that the velocity distribution function has to have the e^{-v^2} form, and normalizing (setting total probability over all velocities equal to 1) gives the prefactor. Integrating over all velocities with the same energy yields the speed distribution, which is the equation on the board.

[@misssweethearted]

great video I kinda zoned out a little bit when you were doing the derivative. Watched it at twice the speed but I do that for all the videos to save time.

[@zakmatew]

misssweethearted He used the product rule which is basically f'(x) = g'(x)*h(x) + g(x)*h'(x)

[@dantesinfernoization]

You're awesome. When I first did the derivative I set one of my constants as C and didn't replace Cmp with V and got all my Cs mixed up.

Michel, we would love to see your derivation of the MB distribution from the conservation laws.

Do you happen to know how to calculate the standard deviation of the molecular energy? I’ve looking for this all over the internet, I read a lot of books and nothing, can you help me please

[@MichelvanBiezen]

We need something more specific than "molecular energy". However we know the curve of black body radiation (known as the blackbody radiation curve) and that curve represents the vibrational modes of the molecules of the walls of the blackbody. (The radiation curve of objects) So start with looking up the blackbody radiation curve. (and it is not a normal distribution curve)

[@usman5954]

Loved it 😍 Thanks

[@MegaJayLover1]

Great explanation! I just have one question: why does the higher temperature result in a “flatter and longer” graph? I understand that it’s because T is in the denominator of both fractions, but how exactly does that translate to a lower and longer graph? Thank you!

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Assuming that the number of molecules is fixed, the vertical axis represents the number of molecules in the sample with a particular velocity. As you heat up the gas, the velocity of the molecules will increase and the number of different possible velocities will increase as well. Since there are now more velocities the molecules can have, there will be less molecules with the same velocity and the curve will be lower.

[@MegaJayLover1]

Michel van Biezen Oh right, that makes so much sense! Thank you!

[@footpot]

hahaha, helping no, that's an understatement your getting me through first year physics at university. Would it be possible to make videos on more complex and in depth physics (i.e deriving equations, particle physics, cosmology, further quantum mechanics and sticking to algebraic answers and to save time). thank you again

[@MichelvanBiezen]

footpot Yes, that is all in the plan, but it takes time to put out these videos. At this time there are some astronomy videos, that include some cosmology (the big bang theory) and I am planning a series on particle physics in the next several weeks. Regarding your comment: "deriving equations", which equations were you thinking of? Thanks

[@footpot]

ALL of them, i'm not even joking. We expected to be able to derive every equation we use, so we not given an equation sheet. When ever you use a new equation, just spend the first video deriving it (even if its short). One equation that come to mind is snell's law, but any and every equations need to derived. Also don't be afraid to put more ads on the videos your content is good, students will still your videos watch. if you want i can send you a list of topics covered by most first year courses, (this is the best group to target, as KZbin is already saturated with high school physics videos) sorry about the bad grammar its 3am here and i've been working since 1pm

[@MichelvanBiezen]

[@andreaorozco9660]

Why is there no dv? Is it only there when using dN/N????

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Since f is a function of v, f' = df/dv (Like y if a function of x, so y' = dy/dx)

[@andreaorozco9660]

Michel van Biezen Oh you replied! Thank you so much! I have another question: can the most probable velocity be found using integration? Can vrms be derived using the method you showed in the video???

[@MichelvanBiezen]

The standard method to find the most probable velocity is using differentiation, because you are looking for the point where the slope is zero (where the derivative is zero). Vrms is found using a different method.

[@andreaorozco9660]

Michel van Biezen ahhhh I get it now! thank you for answering all my questions, sir!☺

[@Cindersgrl27]

[@adibmd.ridwan]

Sir , I have a question. here , V(mp) is the maximum value of maxwell function f(v). So, why v(mp) is smaller than v(rms) ? ....v(mp)/v(rms) = (2/3)^0.5 < 1 but why???? Please answer me Sir.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

The vertical axis represents the probability that you will find a molecule with that velocity, (or it represents the number of molecules with that velocity in a volume). mp = most probable. It is more likely you will find a molecule with that velocity compared to finding a molecule with RMS velocity.

[@chufuonlinestudy3074]

Greetings hope you are doing fine. I got a challenge on what exactly is the law of Maxwell-Boltzmann of diistribution for velocities of mokecules in a gas .

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Assume you have a box with 1000 gas molecules. They would not all have the exact same velocity. Some would move a little faster and some would move a little slower than the average (or the most probable velocity). If you then plot each velocity of every molecule on a histogram, you would get the curve seen

[@chufuonlinestudy3074]

+Michel van Biezen ok thanks you a lot sir,,and when we want to deduce the maxwell boltzaman law for the velocuties we will deduce all the velocities e.g vmps,averag velocitie ???

Sir is not to mind for exam.... but any thing also that to tips form physics

[@chufuonlinestudy3074]

sorry sir plz help me,,, what are the significance of RMS,the mean and the most probable...

[@MichelvanBiezen]

The mean is the same as the average. The RMS (root mean square) is the "effective" average, since the molecules with the greater velocities carry more "weight" in the averaging process. (That is the same as the "averaging" of the AC current and AC voltage. We use the RMS voltage and RMS current to find the "average" voltage and current. The most probable velocity is the velocity which has the most molecules traveling at that velocity.
