JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 12 . kinetic theory of gases

According to law of equipartition of energy the molar specific heat of a diatomic gas at constant volume where the molecule has one additional vibrational mode is :-

  1. A \(\frac{9}{2} R\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{2} R\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{2} R\)
  4. D \(\frac{7}{2} R\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{7}{2} R\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Diatomic gas molecules have three translational degree of freedom, two rotational degree of freedom and it is given that it has one vibrational mode so there are two additional degree of freedom corresponding to one vibrational mode, so total degree of freedom \(=7\)…
