Law of equipartition of energy

Question

If a gas has n degrees of freedom, the value of $γ$ is

Moderate

A

n
B

(n+2)/n
C

n/2
D

2n

Solution

$\begin{matrix} C_{V} = - \frac{dE}{dt} = n \frac{R}{2} and C_{P} = C_{V} + R = (\frac{n}{2} + 1) R \\ γ = \frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}} = \frac{n + 2}{n} \end{matrix}$
