Question

An ideal gas is undergoing a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding PV diagrams in column 3 of the table. Consider only the path from state I to state 2. W denotes the corresponding work done on the system. The equation and plots in the table have standard notations as used in thermodynamic processes. Here γ is the ratio of heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume. The number of moles in the gas is n.

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3

(I) W12=1γ1(P2V2P1V1)

(i) Isothermal

(II) W12=PV2+PV1

(ii) Isochoric

(III) W12=0

(iii) Isobaric

(IV) W12=nRTln(V2V1)

(iv) Adiabatic

Solution

The correct option is D (I) (iv) (Q)
By, Laplace speed of sound in adiabatic process = 332 m/s
it concluded that sound waves do not exchange the energy to the medium.
& the velocity is given by= γRTm

So, the process which involves here is adiabatic process.

Hence, option D is correct.
