The correct relation between the degrees...

The correct relation between the degrees of freedom f and the ratio of specific heat `gamma` is:

A

`f=(2)/(gamma+1)`

B

`f=(1)/(gamma+1)`

C

`f=(2)/(gamma-1)`

D

`f=(gamma+1)/(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`C_V=(fR)/(2)`
`implies C_P=(f/2 +1)R`
`implies gamma =(C_P)/(C_V)=1+2/f`
`implies gamma =1+2/f`
`implies f=(2)/(gamma-1)`
