Paragraph :
A thermally insulating cylinder has a thermally insulating and frictionless movable partition in the middle, as shown in the figure below. On each side of the partition, there is one mole of an ideal gas, with specific heat at constant volume, \(C_{V}=2 R\). Here, \(R\) is the gas constant. Initially, each side has a volume \(V_{0}\) and temperature \(T_{0}\). The left side has an electric heater, which is turned on at very low power to transfer heat \(Q\) to the gas on the left side. As a result the partition moves slowly towards the right reducing the right side volume to \(V_{0} / 2\). Consequently, the gas temperatures on the left and the right sides become \(T_{L}\) and \(T_{R}\), respectively. Ignore the changes in the temperatures of the cylinder, heater and the partition.

JEE Advanced 2022 Easy - Paragraph:
When a particle is restricted to move along \(x\)-axis between \(x=0\) and \(x=a\), where \(a\) is of nanometer dimension, its energy can take only certain specific values. The allowed energies of the particle moving in such a restricted region, correspond to the formation of standing waves with nodes at its ends \(x=0\) and \(x=a\). The wavelength of this standing wave is related to the liner momentum \(p\) of the particle according to the de Broglie relation. The energy of the particle of mass \(m\) is related to its linear momentum as \(E=\frac{p^2}{2 m}\). Thus, the energy of the particle can be denoted by a quantum number \(n\) taking values \(1,2,3, \ldots(n=1\), called the ground state) corresponding to the number of loops in the standing wave.
