JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 11. thermodynamics

A sample of gas at temperature \(\mathrm{T}\) is adiabatically expanded to double its volume. Adiabatic constant for the gas is \(\gamma=3 / 2\). The work done by the gas in the process is _______. \((\mu=1 \mathrm{~mole})\)

  1. A \(\mathrm{RT}[\sqrt{2}-2]\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{RT}[1-2 \sqrt{2}]\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{RT}[2 \sqrt{2}-1]\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{RT}[2-\sqrt{2}]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{RT}[2-\sqrt{2}]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{W}=\frac{\mathrm{nR} \Delta \mathrm{T}}{1-\gamma}\) \(\mathrm{TV}^{\gamma-1}=\text { constant }=\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}(2 \mathrm{~V})^{\gamma-1}\) \(\mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{T}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{1 / 2}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\sqrt{2}}\)…
