NEET Physics Degrees of Freedom MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations correctly describes the degrees of freedom for a molecule in different constraints?
One degree of freedom for linear motion, two for planar motion, three for spatial motion.
Three degrees of freedom for all types of motion regardless of constraints.
Two degrees of freedom for spatial motion, one for planar motion, and three for linear motion.
One degree of freedom for motion in space, two for motion in a line, and three for motion in a plane.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A molecule needs one degree of freedom to move along a line, two for movement in a plane, and three for movement in space, as stated in the NCERT context.
