$A$ monoatomic gas is filled in a cylindrical container with a piston at temperature $T_1$. It undergoes an adiabatic expansion such that its temperature becomes $T_2$. If $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the lengths of the gas column before and after the expansion respectively,then $T_1/T_2$ is equal to:

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

During an adiabatic compression,$830 \ J$ of work is done on $2 \ moles$ of a diatomic ideal gas to reduce its volume by $50\%$. The change in its temperature is nearly..... $K$ $(R = 8.3 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1})$

During an adiabatic process, the pressure of a gas is proportional to the cube of its temperature. The value of $C_p / C_V$ for that gas is
