An ideal gas with pressure $P$, volume $V$ and temperature $T$ is expanded isothermally to volume $2V$ and a final pressure $P_i$. The same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2V$ then the final pressure is $P_a$. In terms of $\gamma$, the ratio of the two specific heats for the gas, the ratio $P_i/P_a$ is

  • A
    $2^\gamma$
  • B
    $2^{1-\gamma}$
  • C
    $2^{\gamma-1}$
  • D
    $2^{-\gamma}$
