RE-NEET 2024 Physics Equipartition of Energy MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
According to the law of equipartition of energy, the number of vibrational modes of a polyatomic gas of constant γ = Cₚ/Cᵥ is (Cₚ where Cᵥ are the specific heat capacities of the gas at constant pressure and constant volume, respectively):
A
B
C
D
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The number of vibrational modes is determined by the degrees of freedom and the specific heat ratio. The correct expression is derived from the equipartition theorem.
