Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1.4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The ratio of specific heats at constant pressure \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}\right)\) and constant volume \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{v}}\right)\)

\(\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}}=\gamma=\left(1+\frac{2}{f}\right)\)

where fis degree of freedom

\(\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}}=\left(1+\frac{2}{5}\right)=\frac{7}{5}\)
