The initial pressure and volume of an ideal gas are \(P_0\) and \(V_0\). The final pressure of the gas when the gas is suddenly compressed to volume \(\frac{ V _0}{4}\) will be (Given \(\gamma=\) ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and at constant volume)

  1. A \(P _0(4)^{\frac{1}{\gamma}}\)
  2. B \(P _0(4)^\gamma\)
  3. C \(P _0\)
  4. D \(4 P _0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(P _0(4)^\gamma\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As gas is suddenly compressed, the processes is adiabatic. Equation of gas for adiabatic process is \(PV ^\gamma=\text { constant. }\) \(\Rightarrow P _1 V _1^\gamma= P _2 V _2^\gamma\) \(\Rightarrow P _0 V _0^\gamma= P _2\left(\frac{ V _0}{4}\right)^\gamma\)…
