For an adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas,the fractional change in its pressure is equal to (where $\gamma$ is the ratio of specific heats):

  • A
    $-\gamma \frac{ dV }{ V }$
  • B
    $-\gamma \frac{ V }{ dV }$
  • C
    $-\frac{1}{\gamma} \frac{ dV }{ V }$
  • D
    $\frac{ dV }{ V }$

$A$ spherical bubble inside water has radius $R$. Take the pressure inside the bubble and the water pressure to be $p_0$. The bubble now gets compressed radially in an adiabatic manner so that its radius becomes $(R-a)$. For $a \ll R$,the magnitude of the work done in the process is given by $(4 \pi p_0 R a^2) X$,where $X$ is a constant and $\gamma = C_p / C_V = 41 / 30$. The value of $X$ is:
