During an adiabatic process, the cube of the pressure is found to be inversely proportional to the fourth power of the volume. Then the ratio of specific heats is

  1. A 1
  2. B \(1.33\)
  3. C \(1.67\)
  4. D \(1.4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1.33\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of an adiabatic process is
\(p V^{\gamma}=\text { constant }\)
Given, \(p^{3}=\frac{k}{V^{4}}\)
\(p^{3} V^{4}=k\)
(constant)
\(\Rightarrow p V^{4 / 3}=k\) Comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \( \gamma=\frac{4}{3}=1.33 \)
