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

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