Lecture
Thermal Energy and Degrees of Freedom
Description
This lecture covers the equipartition of energy between different degrees of freedom in ideal gases, including monoatomic and diatomic gases. It discusses the heat capacity of crystalline solids, molecular gases, and liquids. The instructor explains the kinetic model of gases, the quantification of energy in quantum mechanics, and the mechanical work during volume changes. The lecture also delves into the ideal solid model, thermal capacities, and thermodynamic transformations of ideal gases.
