To solve the problem step by step, we will use the principles of thermodynamics related to adiabatic processes for an ideal diatomic gas. ### Step 1: Understanding the Adiabatic Process In an adiabatic process, the relationship between pressure (P), volume (V), and the adiabatic constant (γ) is given by: \[ P V^\gamma = \text{constant} \] Where γ (gamma) for a diatomic gas is given as 1.5. ### Step 2: Finding the Pressure Ratio ...
