    If the ratio of specific heats of a gas at constant pressure to that at constant volume is y, the change in internal energy of a gas, when the volume changes from V to 2V at constant pressure P, is:

    A)  \[PV\]

    B)  \[\frac{R}{\gamma -1}\]

    C)  \[\frac{PV}{\gamma -1}\]

    D)  \[\frac{\gamma PV}{\gamma -1}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The change in internal energy at constant pressure is \[dV=\frac{1}{\gamma -1}({{P}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}-{{P}_{1}}{{V}_{1}})\] \[=\frac{1}{\gamma -1}[P\times 2V-P\times V]\] \[=\frac{PV}{\gamma -1}\]
