    Ratio of specific heats for an ideal gas is given by:         (Symbols have the usual meanings)

    A) \[\frac{1}{1-\frac{R}{{{c}_{p}}}}\]                   

    B) \[\frac{1}{1-\frac{{{c}_{p}}}{R}}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{1+\frac{{{c}_{p}}}{R}}\]                 

    D) \[\frac{1}{1+\frac{R}{{{c}_{p}}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\frac{{{c}_{p}}}{{{c}_{v}}}=\gamma \] and \[{{c}_{p}}-{{c}_{v}}=R\] \[\frac{{{c}_{p}}}{{{c}_{v}}}-1=\frac{R}{{{c}_{v}}}\] \[\frac{{{c}_{p}}}{{{c}_{v}}}=1+\frac{R}{{{c}_{v}}}\] and \[1-\frac{{{c}_{v}}}{{{c}_{p}}}=\frac{R}{{{c}_{p}}}\] \[\frac{{{c}_{v}}}{{{c}_{p}}}=1-\frac{R}{{{c}_{p}}}\] \[\frac{{{c}_{p}}}{{{c}_{v}}}=1-\frac{1}{1-\frac{R}{{{c}_{p}}}}\]
