JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 12 . kinetic theory of gases

Consider an ideal gas confined in an isolated closed chamber. As the gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion, the average time of collision between molecules increases as \(V ^q\), where \(V\) is the volume of the gas. The value of \(q\) is \(\left( {\gamma = \frac{{{C_P}}}{{{C_V}}}} \right)\)

  1. A \(\frac{{3\gamma - 5}}{6}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\)
  2. B \(\;\frac{{\gamma + 1}}{2}\)
  3. C \(\;\frac{{\gamma - 1}}{2}\)
  4. D \(\;\frac{{3\gamma + 5}}{6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\;\frac{{\gamma + 1}}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\tau = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 \pi {d^2}\left( {\frac{N}{V}} \right)\sqrt {\frac{{3RT}}{M}} }}\) \(\tau \propto \frac{V}{{\sqrt T }}\) \(As,\,T{V^{\gamma - 1}} = K\) \(So,\,\tau \propto {V^{\gamma + 1/2}}\) \(Therefore,\,q = \frac{{\gamma + 1}}{2}\)
