  • A
    $\frac{R}{{\gamma - 1}}({T_2} - {T_1})$
  • B
    $\frac{R}{{\gamma - 1}}({T_1} - {T_2})$
  • C
    $R({T_1} - {T_2})$
  • D
    Zero

$A$ cycle tyre bursts suddenly. What is the type of this process?

$A$ gas at normal temperature is suddenly compressed to one-fourth of its original volume. If $\gamma = 1.5$, then the increase in the temperature of the gas in Kelvin is ($\gamma$ is the ratio of specific heats).

An ideal rigid diatomic gas $(\gamma = 7/5)$ undergoes an adiabatic change. If the relation between temperature and volume is $TV^x = \text{constant}$, then the value of $x$ is:

The volume of an ideal gas $(\gamma=1.5)$ is changed adiabatically from $5 \ L$ to $4 \ L$. The ratio of initial pressure to final pressure is:
