An ideal gas is in thermodynamic equilibrium. The number of degrees of freedom of a molecule of the gas is . The internal energy of one mole of the gas is and the speed of sound in the gas is . At a fixed temperature and pressure, which of the following is the correct option?
- A
- Band
- Cand
- Dand

Correct answer: C
- Internal energy of one mole of an ideal gas
For an ideal gas with degrees of freedom, the internal energy of mole is
At fixed temperature , we have
So,
- Speed of sound in an ideal gas
The speed of sound is
Using ,
At fixed temperature and pressure, for the same gas family comparison here, dependence is through .
For an ideal gas with degrees of freedom,
Hence,
Therefore,
Now check values:
As increases, decreases. Therefore,
- Check each option
Option A:
This is not a complete relation/equality/inequality, so it is not a meaningful correct option.
Option B: and
But we found
and
So option B is false.
Option C: and
From above,
and
So option C is true.
Option D: and
We found
though n
Since the first part is false, option D is false.
- Final answer
The correct option is
This matches the stored correct answer.
