- The second law of thermodynamics: reversible and irreversible processes
Unit IX: Behaviour of Perfect Gases and Kinetic Theory of Gases
Chapter–13: Kinetic Theory
- Equation of state of a perfect gas, work done in compressing a gas.
- Kinetic theory of gases – assumptions, the concept of pressure. Kinetic interpretation of temperature; RMS speed of gas molecules; degrees of freedom, the law of equipartition of energy (statement only) and application to specific heat capacities of gases; the concept of the mean free path, Avogadro’s number.
Unit X: Oscillations and Waves
