STANDARD Physics Adiabatic and Isothermal Processes MCQ Question
The relation between the slope of isothermal curve and slope of adiabatic curve
slope of adiabatic curve γ times slope of isothermal curve.
slope of isothermal curve γ times slope of adiabatic curve.
slope of adiabatic curve γ² times slope of isothermal curve.
slope of isothermal curve γ² times slope of adiabatic curve.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
For an isothermal process, PV = constant, and for an adiabatic process, PV^γ = constant. Differentiating both, we find that the slope of the adiabatic curve is γ times the slope of the isothermal curve.
