The molar specific heats of an ideal gas at constant pressure and constant volume are denoted by $C_p$ and $C_v$ respectively. If $\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v}$ and $R$ is the universal gas constant,then $C_v$ is equal to:

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