Specific Heats of Gases - Cp, Cv, γ & Mayer's Relation

For a gas, if the ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and volume is γ\gamma then the value of degree of freedom is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. γ=1+2f\gamma = 1 + \frac{2}{f}
  2. γ−1=2f⇒f=2γ−1\gamma - 1 = \frac{2}{f} \Rightarrow f = \frac{2}{\gamma-1}
  3. So the answer is (b) 2γ−1\frac{2}{\gamma-1}.
