The poisson's ratio for inert gases is:

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

The Poisson's ratio is defined as

The ratio gamma for inert gases is

Define poisson's ratio.

what is poisson's ratio ?

Define Poisson's ratio. The poisson's ratio of a material is sigma . If a longitudinal strain of a wire made of thin material be a, show that its volume strain is (1-2sigma)a

Valency of inert gases is
