Question:medium
The \(\gamma \left( = \frac{C_p}{C_v} \right)\) values of a rigid diatomic gas molecule and a monoatomic gas molecule are in the ratio
The \(\gamma \left( = \frac{C_p}{C_v} \right)\) values of a rigid diatomic gas molecule and a monoatomic gas molecule are in the ratio
Show Hint
Rigid diatomic means vibration degrees of freedom are not counted. Always remember \(\gamma_{mono} = 1.67\) and \(\gamma_{di} = 1.4\). The ratio \(1.4 / 1.67\) is clearly less than 1, helping you eliminate options A, C, D, and E.
