During an adiabatic process of an ideal ...

During an adiabatic process of an ideal gas, if P is proportional to `(1)/(V^(1.5)`, then the ratio of specific heat capacities at constant pressure to that at constant volume for the gas is

A

1.5

B

0.25

C

0.75

D

0.4

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

As `P propto 1/V^(1.5)`, So `PV^(1.5)` (`therefore` Process is adiabatic)
As we know, `C_(p)/C_(v) = gamma, therefore C_(p)/C_(v) = 1.5`
