$A$ sample of gas at temperature $T$ is adiabatically expanded to double its volume. The work done by the gas in the process is (given,$\gamma = 3/2$):

  • A
    $W = TR[\sqrt{2} - 2]$
  • B
    $W = \frac{T}{R}[\sqrt{2} - 2]$
  • C
    $W = \frac{R}{T}[2 - \sqrt{2}]$
  • D
    $W = RT[2 - \sqrt{2}]$

$A$ 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. If $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively,then $T_1/T_2$ is given by

An ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume by means of several processes. Which of the processes results in the maximum work done on the gas?
