The ratio of the specific heats CP/CV = ...

The ratio of the specific heats `C_P/C_V = gamma` in terms of degrees of freedom (n) is given by :

A

`(1+2/n)`

B

`(1+n/3)`

C

`(1+1/n)`

D

`(1+n/2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`C_V=n/2R,C_P = (n/2+1)R`
`gamma=C_P/C_V=(n//2+1)/(n//2)=1+2/n`
