Serway & Jewett β€” The Kinetic Theory of Gases: Problem 42.

On the \(PV\) diagram for an ideal gas, one isothermal curve and one adiabatic curve pass through each point as shown in Figure P20.42. Prove that the slope of the adiabatic curve is steeper than the slope of the isotherm at that point by the factor \(\gamma\).
