Graph of specific heat at constant volume for a monoatomic gas is
Graph of specific heat at constant volume for a monoatomic gas is







Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
C. 
Step-by-step solution
According to first law of thermodynamics
Q=U+P V
If is absorbed at constant volume,
C_V=\left(\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta T}\right)_V=\left(\frac{\Delta U}{\Delta T}\right)_V=for an ideal monoatomic gas
R ; C_V=R
