This lecture covers the Kinetic Theory of Gases, focusing on the Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution, which describes the distribution of speeds of particles in a gas at a given temperature. It explains the concept of kinetic energy, elastic collisions, and the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature in gases. The lecture also delves into collisions with walls, collision flux, and the behavior of gas particles in different scenarios.
