If f is the number of degrees of freedon of a gas, show that `gamma =1 + (2)/(f).`

Explanation

To show that \( \gamma = 1 + \frac{2}{f} \), where \( f \) is the number of degrees of freedom of a gas, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the relationship between specific heats and degrees of freedom
For an ideal gas, the specific heat capacity at constant volume \( C_v \) is given by:
\[ C_v = \frac{f}{2} R \]
where \( R \) is the universal gas constant.
