Abstract
This paper considers the exact solutions for plane shock waves in dilute polyatomic gases. The local enthalpy in the steady state plays an important role and fixes the Prandtl's number to write the temperature profile in an exact way. The condition for the Prandtl's number is a generalisation of Becker's result and now it considers the bulk viscosity. The velocity profile can also be found in an exact implicit way when the viscosity index is an arbitrary positive number.
