Solution

here in this question when a polyatomic gas undergoes an adiabatic process then its temperature and the volume relates by the relation , TVn = constant .
Here n is the ratio of two molar specific heats which is equal to 5/3 for monoatomic gases ,7/5 for diatomic gases , 4/3 for triatomic gases .
Now ,n=1+2f where f is the number of degrees of freedom of a gas molecule .
