    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

    A)  1                 

    B)  1.33

    C)  1.67              

    D)  1.4

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

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