An ideal gas is found to obey \(p V^{\frac{3}{2}}=\) constant during an adiabatic process. If such a gas initially at a temperature \(T\) is adiabatically compressed to half of its initial volume, then its final temperature is

  1. A \(\sqrt{2} T\)
  2. B 2T
  3. C \(2 \sqrt{2} T\)
  4. D 4T
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{2} T\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { Given, } p V^\gamma=\text { constant , } \gamma=\frac{3}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow T V^{\gamma-1}=\text { constant } \Rightarrow T_f=T_i\left(\frac{V_i}{V_f}\right)^{r-1} \\ & \Rightarrow T_f=T\left(\frac{2 V_f}{V_f}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}-1} \Rightarrow…
