JEE PHYSICS MCQ: KINETIC THEORY OF GASES

1 Medium
1 of 1
Understanding +4 | -1
Assertion: Each vibrational mode gives two degrees of freedom
Reason: By law of equipartition of energy, the energy for each degree of freedom in thermal equilibrium is 2kBT2 k_B T
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If Assertion is true and Reason is false
Option C is correct because each vibrational mode contributes two degrees of freedom (kinetic and potential energy), but the energy for each degree of freedom is 12kBT\frac{1}{2}k_BT, not 2kBT2k_BT.
