Important Questions on Kinetic Theory of Gases and Radiation


Match the ratio for ideal gases with different type of molecules:
Molecule Type | |
(A) Monoatomic | (I) |
(B) Diatomic rigid molecules | (II) |
(C) Diatomic non-rigid molecules | (III) |
(D) Triatomic rigid molecules | (IV) |

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In a diatomic molecule, the rotational energy at a given temperature obeys Maxwell's distribution.
Statement II : In a diatomic molecule, the rotational energy at a given temperature equals the translational kinetic energy for each molecule.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
