Which of the following is WRONG about the degrees of freedom?

Physics · NEET · NTA Exams — KINETIC THEORY OF GASES

1. The number of degrees of freedom of a system is equal to the number of independent relations between the particles.
2. The total number of independent quantities required to completely specify the position and configuration of a dynamic system is the degrees of freedom of that system.
3. For an ideal monatomic gas, degrees of freedom is 3.
4. For an ideal diatomic gas at ordinary temperature, degrees of freedom is 5.

Answer

(A) The number of degrees of freedom of a system is equal to the number of independent relations between the particles.
