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

Consider two ideal diatomic gases \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) at some temperature \(T\). Molecules of the gas \(A\) are rigid, and have a mass \(m\). Molecules of the gas \(\mathrm{B}\) have an additional vibrational mode, and have a mass \(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{4} .\) The ratio of the specific heats \((\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}^{\mathrm{A}}\) and \(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}^{\mathrm{B}})\) of gas \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\), respectively is

  1. A \(7:9\)
  2. B \(5:7\)
  3. C \(3:5\)
  4. D \(5:9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5:7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Degree of freedom of a diatomic molecule if vibration is absent \(=5\) Degree of freedom of a diatomic molecule if vibration is present \(=7\) \(\therefore C_{v}^{A}=\frac{f_{A}}{2} R=\frac{5}{2} R\) and \(C_{v}^{B}=\frac{f_{B}}{2} R=\frac{7}{2} R\)…
