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:-
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Diatomic gas molecules have three translational degree of freedom, two rotational degree of
freedom & 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
