The ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to specific heat at constant volume $(\gamma)$ for a gas is given by $\gamma = 1 + \frac{2}{f}$,where $f$ is the number of degrees of freedom of a molecule of the gas. What is the ratio of $\gamma_{d}$ for a rigid diatomic gas to $\gamma_{m}$ for a monoatomic gas?

Internal energy of $n_1$ moles of hydrogen at temperature $T$ is equal to the internal energy of $n_2$ moles of helium at temperature $2T$. Then the ratio $n_1:n_2$ is: [Degree of freedom of $He = 3$,Degree of freedom of $H_2 = 5$]

If the internal energy of $3$ moles of a gas at a temperature of $27^{\circ} C$ is $2250 R$,then the number of degrees of freedom of the gas is (where $R$ is the universal gas constant).
