$A$ gas at initial temperature $T$ undergoes sudden expansion from volume $V$ to $2 \, V$. Then,

In an adiabatic process,if the pressure is increased by $\frac{2}{3}\% $ and the ratio of specific heats $\frac{C_p}{C_v} = \gamma = \frac{3}{2}$,then the volume decreases by about:

$A$ spherical bubble inside water has radius $R$. Take the pressure inside the bubble and the water pressure to be $p_0$. The bubble now gets compressed radially in an adiabatic manner so that its radius becomes $(R-a)$. For $a \ll R$,the magnitude of the work done in the process is given by $(4 \pi p_0 R a^2) X$,where $X$ is a constant and $\gamma = C_p / C_V = 41 / 30$. The value of $X$ is:

During an adiabatic process,the pressure of the gas is found to be proportional to the cube of its absolute temperature. The ratio $C_P/C_V = \gamma$ for the gas is:

$A$ monoatomic ideal gas,initially at temperature $T_1$,is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature $T_2$ by releasing the piston suddenly. If $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively,then $T_1/T_2$ is given by
