Description

This lecture delves into the kinetic theory of gases, focusing on calculating the average kinetic energy per molecule to interpret temperature, internal energy, and degrees of freedom. It also explores the principle of equipartition of energy, illustrating how temperature is a measure of the average translational kinetic energy of molecules.
