NEET Physics Degrees of Freedom Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): A molecule constrained to move in a plane has two degrees of freedom. | Reason (R): The degrees of freedom correspond to the number of independent coordinates required to specify the position of the molecule.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, a molecule constrained to move in a plane indeed has two degrees of freedom, which correspond to the two independent coordinates required to specify its position.
