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

A

` (nkT)/(N)`

B

` (n KT)/(2N)`

C

` (nKT)/(2)`

D

` (3kT)/(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Energy per degree of freedom ` = (1)/(2) kT ` (In equipartition of energy) For a polyatomic gas degree of freedom , the mean energy per moles
`= (1)/(2) nkT.`
