According to the law of equipartition of energy, the number of vibrational modes of a polyatomic gas of constant \(\gamma=\dfrac{C_{\mathrm{p}}}{C_{\mathrm{v}}}\) is (where \(C_p\) and \(C_v\) are the specific heat capacities of the gas at constant pressure and constant volume, respectively):
1. \(\dfrac{4+3\gamma}{\gamma-1}\) 2. \(\dfrac{3+4\gamma}{\gamma-1}\)
3. \(\dfrac{4-3\gamma}{\gamma-1}\) 4. \(\dfrac{3-4\gamma}{\gamma-1}\)
