Q70 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (25 Jan Shift 2) · Physics
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
- Correct answerD
Solution
A diatomic gas has 5 degrees of freedom apart from vibrational degree of freedom. For each additional vibrational mode, degree of freedom is increased by . So new degree of freedom,
Therefore, we require molar specific heat capacity at constant volume, which is given by
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
