Assertion: The Poisson's ratio for diatomic gases is more than for monoatomic gases.
Reason: Diatomic gases possess more degree of freedom.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`(C_(P))/(C_(v))= 1.40` for diatomic gases and `1.66` for mono atomic gases, No doubt degree of freedom for a gas is given by `3n`, where `n` is no. of atom in molecule.
