Consider a spherical shell of radius \(R\) at temperature \(T\). The black body radiation inside it can be considered as an ideal gas of photons with internal energy per unit volume\(E=\) \(\frac{U}{V} \propto {T^4}\) and pressure \(P = \frac{1}{3}\left( {\frac{U}{V}} \right)\) If the shell now undergoes an adiabatic expansion the relation between \(T\) and \(R\) is

  1. A \(T \propto {e^{ - 3R}}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\)
  2. B \(\;T \propto \frac{1}{R}\)
  3. C \(\;T \propto \frac{1}{{{R^3}}}\)
  4. D \(\;T \propto {e^{ - R}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\;T \propto \frac{1}{R}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(As,\,P = \frac{1}{3}\left( {\frac{U}{V}} \right)\) \(But\frac{U}{V} = K{T^4}\) \(So,P = \frac{1}{3}K{T^4}\) \(or\,\frac{{uRT}}{V} = \frac{1}{3}K{T^4}\,\,\,\left[ {As\,PV = u\,RT} \right]\) \(\frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}{T^3} = constant\) \(Therfore,T \propto \frac{1}{R}\)
