To raise the temperature of a certain mass of gas by 50 °C at a constant pressure,160 calories of heat is required. When the same mass of gas is cooled by 100°C at constant volume, 240 calories of heat is released. How many degrees of freedom does each molecule of this gas have (assume gas to be ideal)?

Particle A of mass mA=m2 moving along the x -axis with velocity v0 collides elastically with another particle B at rest having mass mB=m3. If both the particles move along the x -axis after the collision, the change λ in the wavelength of the particle A, in terms of its de-Broglie wavelength λ0 before the collision is:
