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 the ratio of $C_p$ to $C_v$ is $\gamma$,then $C_v=$

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