JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 11. thermodynamics

A monoatomic gas having \(\gamma=\frac{5}{3}\) is stored in a thermally insulated container and the gas is suddenly compressed to \(\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^{\text {th }}\) of its initial volume. The ratio of final pressure and initial pressure is: ( \(\gamma\) is the ratio of specific heats of the gas at constant pressure and at constant volume)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 32

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & P_i V_i^\gamma=P_f V_f^\gamma \\ & \frac{P_f}{P_i}=\left(\frac{V_i}{V_f}\right)^\gamma=(8)^{5 / 3} \\ & \frac{P_f}{P_i}=32\end{aligned}\)
