Vedclass · Answer

(B) The adiabatic elasticity of a gas is given by $E_{	ext{adiabatic}} = \gamma P$,where $\gamma$ is the adiabatic index and $P$ is the pressure.The isothermal elasticity of a gas is given by $E_{	ext{isothermal}} = P$.The ratio of adiabatic to isothermal elasticity is $\frac{E_{	ext{adiabatic}}}{E_{	ext{isothermal}}} = \frac{\gamma P}{P} = \gamma$.For a triatomic gas (non-linear),the degrees of freedom $f = 6$. The adiabatic index $\gamma = 1 + \frac{2}{f} = 1 + \frac{2}{6} = 1 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}$.Therefore,the ratio is $\frac{4}{3}$.
