Consider two ideal diatomic gases $A$ and $B$ at some temperature $T$. Molecules of the gas $A$ are rigid,and have a mass $m$. Molecules of the gas $B$ have an additional vibrational mode,and have a mass $\frac{m}{4}$. The ratio of the specific heats $(C_{v}^{A}$ and $C_{v}^{B})$ of gas $A$ and $B$,respectively,is

  • A
    $7:9$
  • B
    $5:7$
  • C
    $3:5$
  • D
    $5:9$
