The thing about a spectrum is that its twodimensional, like a scatter plot, but it has only one degree of freedom, so we can map it onto one dimension. Degrees of freedom statistics in statistics, the number of degrees of freedom is the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary.
At this temperature, there exists a point on the phase diagram a single combination of composition and temperature where three phases the two solids and a liquid can exist simultaneously in equilibrium. Therefore, this is an invariant equilibrium, also called a triple point. The degree of freedom for eutectic reaction for an ironchromium nickel alloy is 1.
