Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{3}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{P} \propto \mathrm{T}^3\)

\(\mathrm{PT}^{-3}=\text { constant }\)

\(\because \frac{\mathrm{PV}}{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{nR}=\text { constant from ideal gas equation }\)

\((\mathrm{P})(\mathrm{PV})^{-3}=\text { constant }\)

\(\mathrm{P}^{-2} \mathrm{~V}^{-3}=\text { cosntant } \quad . .(1)\)

\(\because \text { Process equation for adiabatic process is }\)

\(\mathrm{PV}^y=\text { constant } \quad . .(2)\)

\(\text { Comparing equation (1) and (2) }\)

\(\frac{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{V}}}=\mathrm{y}=\frac{3}{2}\)
