Question

If $\gamma$ denotes the ratio of two specific heats of a gas, the ratio of slopes of adiabatic and isothermal PV curves at their point of intersection is

• A. $1 / \gamma$
• B. $\gamma$
• C. $\gamma - 1$
• D. $\gamma + 1$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\gamma$

Answer 2

Slope of adiabatic curve = γ × (Slope of isothermal curve)
