$A$ fixed amount of a gas undergoes a thermodynamic process as shown in the figure,such that the heat interaction along path $B \to C \to A$ is equal to the work done by the gas along path $A \to B \to C$. Then the process $A \to B$ is:

  • A
    can only be isothermal
  • B
    can only be adiabatic
  • C
    can be isothermal or adiabatic
  • D
    none of the above

The mean kinetic energy of monoatomic gas molecules under standard conditions is $\langle E_1 \rangle$. If the gas is compressed adiabatically $8$ times to its initial volume,the mean kinetic energy of gas molecules changes to $\langle E_2 \rangle$. The ratio $\frac{\langle E_2 \rangle}{\langle E_1 \rangle}$ is

Consider a spherical shell of radius $R$ at temperature $T$. The black body radiation inside it can be considered as an ideal gas of photons with internal energy per unit volume $E = \frac{U}{V} \propto T^4$ and pressure $P = \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{U}{V} \right)$. If the shell now undergoes an adiabatic expansion,the relation between $T$ and $R$ is:

An ideal gas at $127^{\circ} C$ is compressed suddenly to $\frac{8}{27}$ of its initial volume. If $\gamma=\frac{5}{3}$ for the ideal gas,then the rise in its temperature is: (in $K$)

During the adiabatic expansion of $2 \, moles$ of a gas,the internal energy was found to have decreased by $100 \, J$. The work done by the gas in this process is ..... $J$.

The pressure and density of a diatomic gas $\left(\gamma=\frac{7}{5}\right)$ change adiabatically from $(P, \rho)$ to $(P^{\prime}, \rho^{\prime})$. If $\frac{\rho^{\prime}}{\rho}=32$,then $\frac{P^{\prime}}{P}$ is:
