NEET Physics Degrees of Freedom Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Motion constrained to a line (i) Three degrees of freedom (b) Motion constrained to a plane (ii) One degree of freedom (c) Free motion in space (iii) Two degrees of freedom (d) A molecule in thermal equilibrium (iv) Zero degrees of freedom
Choose the correct matching:
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
a-iii, b-ii, c-i, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A molecule constrained to move along a line has one degree of freedom, while in a plane it has two, and free motion in space corresponds to three degrees of freedom. This matches the definitions provided in the NCERT context regarding degrees of freedom for different constraints.
