Physics Kinetic Theory of Gases JEE Main 2021 MCQ (Single Correct)

Given below are two statements:

Statement : In a diatomic molecule, the rotational energy at a given temperature obeys Maxwell's distribution.

Statement : in a diatomic molecule, the rotational energy at a given temperature equals the translational

kinetic energy for each molecule. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the

options given below:

Both statement

and statement

are false.

Both statement

and statement

are true.

Statement

is false but statement

is true

Statement

is true but statement

is false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

d JEE Main 2021

The translational kinetic energy & rotational kinetic energy both obey Maxwell's distribution

independent of each other.

of diatomic molecules

So statement is true but statement is false.
