Under an adiabatic process, the volume of an ideal gas gets doubled. Consequently the mean collision time between the gas molecule changes from $\tau_{1}$ to $\tau_{2} .$ If $\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}}=\gamma$ for this gas then a good estimate for $\frac{\tau_{2}}{\tau_{1}}$ is given by :
  • A$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{\gamma+1}{2}}$
  • B$2$
  • C$\frac 12$
  • D$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\gamma}$
