File:Maxwell Dist-Inverse Speed.png

This graph shows the Maxwell distribution of helium atom speeds at 5500 kelvin. The speeds are shown as inverse speed so one can more easily compare this shape to that of a Planck curve. In this graph, the left end of the X-axis represents higher energies and higher speeds. Greg L 03:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image, derived from a non-lossy source so that it doesn't contain any compression artifacts (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please replace all instances of the artifacted version throughout Wikipedia (noted under the "File links" header), tag the old version with {{obsolete|NewImage.ext}}, and remove this tag.
