The ratio of specific heats 
in terms of degree of freedom (f) is given by:
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Molar heat capacity at constant volume C v = 
where f is degree of freedom.
Molar heat capacity at constant pressure can be written as C P = R + C v = R + 
= 
R
