An ideal gas with pressure P volume V and temperature T is expanded isothermally to a volume 2V and a final pressure PI . The same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume 2V the final pressure is PA. In terms of the ratio of the two specific heats for the gas γ the ratio PI/PA is:

Given that:- the pressure
volume
Temperature
When expanded isothermally to a volume 2V. Pressure
When expanded adiabatically to a volume
Ratio of two specific heats
We need to find the ratio
Since it is first compressed isothermally
Again when it is compressed adiabatically.
2γ−1 is the correct.
