During an adiabatic process, if the pressure of a gas is found to be proportional to the cube of its absolute temperature, then the ratio of $$\frac{C_P}{C_V}$$ for the gas is :
For an adiabatic process,
$$PV^{\gamma}=\text{constant}$$
Also ideal gas law gives
PV=nRT
or
$$V=\frac{nRT}{P}$$
Substitute into adiabatic equation:
$$P\left(\frac{nRT}{P}\right)^{\gamma}=\text{constant}$$
$$P\cdot\frac{(nR)^{\gamma}T^{\gamma}}{P^{\gamma}}=\text{constant}$$
$$P^{1-\gamma}T^{\gamma}=\text{constant}$$Given pressure is proportional to cube of absolute temperature,
$$P\propto T^3$$
So
$$P=kT^3$$
Comparing with
$$P^{1-\gamma}T^{\gamma}=\text{constant}$$
write
$$P\propto T^{\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1}}$$
Thus,
$$=3\frac{\gamma}{\gamma-1}$$Solving,
$$γ=3γ−3$$
$$2γ=3$$
$$γ=\frac{3}{2}$$
But for an adiabatic process so,
$$\gamma=\frac{C_P}{C_V}$$
