$A$ monoatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature $T_1$, is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a massless, frictionless piston. By releasing the piston suddenly, the gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature $T_2$. If $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the lengths of the gas columns before and after expansion respectively, then $(T_2 / T_1)$ is given by

  • A
    $(L_1 / L_2)^{2/3}$
  • B
    $(L_2 / L_1)^{2/3}$
  • C
    $(L_1 / L_2)$
  • D
    $(L_2 / L_1)$

Two different adiabatic paths for the same gas intersect two isothermal curves as shown in the $P-V$ diagram. The relation between the ratio $\frac{V_a}{V_d}$ and the ratio $\frac{V_b}{V_c}$ is:

The initial pressure and volume of an ideal gas are $P_0$ and $V_0$. The final pressure of the gas when the gas is suddenly compressed to volume $\frac{V_0}{4}$ will be (Given $\gamma =$ ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and at constant volume).

$A$ monoatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature $T_{1}$, is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature $T_{2}$ by releasing the piston suddenly.
