Question

State the law of equipartition of
energy. Prove that for a perfect gas
whose molecules have n degrees of
freedom

Cp/Cv = 1+ 2/n

where, Cp is the specific heat at
constant pressure and Cv is the
specific heat at constant volume.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Equipartition of energy, law of statistical mechanics stating that, in a system in thermal equilibrium, on the average, an equal amount of energy will be associated with each independent energy state. ... In addition, any degree of freedom contributing potential energy will have another 1/2kT associated with it.
