In an adiabatic process with the ratio of two specific heat, \(\gamma=\dfrac{3}{2}\), pressure is increased by \(\dfrac{2}{3} \%\), then decrease in the volume will be

  1. A \(\dfrac{4}{9} \%\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{2}{3} \%\)
  3. C \(4 \%\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{9}{4} \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\dfrac{4}{9} \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For an adiabatic process, the relation between pressure \(P\) and volume \(V\) is given by \(PV^{\gamma} = \text{constant}\). Taking the natural logarithm on both sides, we get \(\ln P + \gamma \ln V = \text{constant}\). Differentiating both sides, we obtain…
