Step-by-step solution
Given, density of gas, (\rho=10891400kg/ m3)speedofsound,(v=330\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s})andunderstandardcondition,Pressureofgas,(p=1×105\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{m}^2) If (\gamma) be the ratio of CpandC_Vofagas,thenthespeedofsoundingasisgivenby(v=ργP or ργP=v2γ=pv2ρ=105330×330×10891400γ=1.4 So, γ=CVCp=1.4\$quad\left[∵\ggamma=1+f2 Since, for diatomic gas, the volume of \right] and γ is 1.4. and Hence, the degree of freedom for ) So, (\gamma=\frac{C_p}{C_V}=$1.4) Since, for diatomic gas, the volume of \$(\left[\begin{array}{l} \because \ggamma=1+\frac{2}{f}\\ 1.4=1+\frac{2}{f}\\ \therefore f=5 \end{array}$$\right])(\gamma) is 1.4. Hence, the degree of freedom for diatomic gas is equal to 5.
