A polyatomic gas with (n) degress of freedom has a mean energy per molecule given by.

A

`(nkT)/(N)`

B

`(nkT)/(2 N)`

C

`(nkT)/(2)`

D

`(3kT)/(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`K.E.` per degree of freedom `= (1)/(2)kT`
For polyatomic gas, mean `K.E. = (nkT)/(2)`
