AIIMS 2018 Physics Adiabatic Processes MCQ Question
One mole of an ideal gas at an initial temperature of T K does 6R joules of work adiabatically. If the ratio of specific heats of this gas at constant pressure and at constant volume is 5/3, the final temperature of gas will be
(T − 4) K
(T + 2.4) K
(T − 2.4) K
(T + 4) K
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In an adiabatic process for an ideal gas, the relationship between temperature and work done can be expressed using the formula , where and are the specific heats at constant pressure and volume, respectively. Given that the ratio of specific heats , we find and . The work done, , leads to a final temperature K, confirming option A as correct. Other options are incorrect as they do not satisfy the derived relationship for the final temperature based on the work done in this adiabatic process.
