The molar specific heat of an ideal gas at constant pressure and constant volume is $C_{p}$ and $C_{v}$ respectively. If $R$ is the universal gas constant and $\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$,then $C_v =$

  • A
    $\frac{1-\gamma}{1+\gamma}$
  • B
    $\frac{1+\gamma}{1-\gamma}$
  • C
    $\frac{\gamma-1}{R}$
  • D
    $\frac{R}{\gamma-1}$
