Question

What is the relation between specific heat capacity and degree of freedom

Answer 1

The specific heat of gas at constant volume in terms of degree of freedom 'f' is given as: Cv = (f/2) R. So, we can also say that, Cp/Cv = (1 + 2/f), where f is degree of freedom. Monoatomic gas has only one translational motion, hence three translational degrees of freedom
