Answer 1

hey mate!!

There are many who postulated law of equipartition of energy

but the more correct one is postulated by

JOHN JAMES WATERSON

hope the answer helps

Answer 2

Answer is John James Waterston.

Law of Equipartition of Energy: According to the law of even distribution of energy, in the case of a dynamical system in thermal equilibrium, the total energy of the system is evenly divided between the degrees of freedom.

An even distribution of energy indicates that, on average, an even distribution of energy is associated with each degree of freedom in a thermal equilibrium system.

Example: A molecule  moving in space has three degrees of freedom because its position is defined by three coordinates. The scientific definition of this law is: "Equal distribution of energy between the degrees of freedom of a dynamical system in thermal equilibrium.

The uniform distribution of kinetic energy was given  by John James Waterston in 1843, more precisely in 1845. In 1859, James Clerk Maxwell claimed that the kinetic thermal energy of the gas was evenly distributed between the linear and rotational energies.

Applications of the law of equipartition of energy:-

• In more general terms, equipartition can be related to the classical system of thermal equilibrium. It is used to derive the ideal gas law. Meyer's relation Cp − Cv = R connects the two specific heats for one mole of an ideal gas.
