The ratio of adiabatic elasticity to isothermal elasticity is given by the specific heat ratio (γ), which is defined as the ratio of the specific heat at constant pressure (Cp) to the specific heat at constant volume (Cv). For an ideal gas, γ is typically greater than 1, indicating that adiabatic processes involve greater changes in pressure and volume compared to isothermal processes. This relationship highlights how the temperature changes under adiabatic conditions differ from those under isothermal conditions.
