The ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to specific heat at constant volume $(\gamma)$ for a gas is given by $\gamma = 1 + \frac{2}{f}$,where $f$ is the number of degrees of freedom of a molecule of the gas. What is the ratio of $\gamma_{d}$ for a rigid diatomic gas to $\gamma_{m}$ for a monoatomic gas?

  • A
    $\frac{14}{23}$
  • B
    $\frac{25}{21}$
  • C
    $\frac{21}{25}$
  • D
    $\frac{23}{14}$
