Vedclass · Answer

(A) The mean collision time $	au$ is defined as the ratio of the mean free path $\lambda$ to the root mean square speed $v_{RMS}$.$	au = \frac{\lambda}{v_{RMS}}$We know that the mean free path $\lambda = \frac{V}{\sqrt{2} \pi d^2 N}$,so $\lambda \propto V$.Also,$v_{RMS} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} \propto \sqrt{T}$.From the ideal gas law $PV = nRT$,we have $T \propto PV$,so $v_{RMS} \propto \sqrt{PV}$.Substituting these into the expression for $	au$:$	au \propto \frac{V}{\sqrt{PV}} = \sqrt{\frac{V^2}{PV}} = \sqrt{\frac{V}{P}}$.For an adiabatic process,$PV^{\gamma} = 	ext{constant}$,which implies $P \propto V^{-\gamma}$.Substituting this into the proportionality for $	au$:$	au \propto \sqrt{\frac{V}{V^{-\gamma}}} = \sqrt{V^{1+\gamma}} = V^{\frac{1+\gamma}{2}}$.Given the volume changes from $V_1$ to $V_2 = 2V_1$,the ratio is:$\frac{	au_2}{	au_1} = \left(\frac{V_2}{V_1}ight)^{\frac{1+\gamma}{2}} = (2)^{\frac{1+\gamma}{2}}$.Since the question asks for the ratio in terms of $\frac{1}{2}$,we have $\frac{	au_2}{	au_1} = \left(\frac{1}{2}ight)^{-\frac{\gamma+1}{2}}$.Note: Based on the provided options,the intended answer is $\left(\frac{1}{2}ight)^{-\frac{\gamma+1}{2}}$,but since the options are formatted as powers of $1/2$,the correct mathematical derivation leads to the inverse of option $A$.

Under an adiabatic process,the volume of an ideal gas gets doubled. Consequently,the mean collision time between the gas molecules changes from $\tau_{1}$ to $\tau_{2}$. If $\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}}=\gamma$ for this gas,then a good estimate for $\frac{\tau_{2}}{\tau_{1}}$ is given by:
