Question

The specific heat at constant pressure and at constant volume for an ideal gas are $C_{p}$ and $C_{v}$ and its adiabatic and isothermal elasticities are $E_{\phi}$ and $E_{	heta}$ respectively. The ratio of $E_{\phi}$ to $E_{	heta}$ is

(b) Ratio of adiabatic and isothermal elasticities
$\frac{E\phi}{E	heta} = \frac{\gamma P}{P} = \gamma = \frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}}$
