The number of translational degree of freedom for a diatomic gas is
A.
2
B.
3
C.
5
D.
6
Answer :
3
Solution :
Number of degree of freedom of a dynamical system is obtained by subtracting the number of independent relations from the total number of coordinates required to specify the positions of constituent particles of the system.
If $$A =$$ number of particles in the system,
$$R =$$ number of independent relations among the particles,
$$N =$$ number of degree of freedom of the system, then
$$N = 3A - R$$
Each monoatomic, diatomic and triatomic gas has three translatory degree of freedom.
