In an adiabatic process,the state of a gas is changed from $P_1, V_1, T_1$ to $P_2, V_2, T_2$. Out of the following relations,the correct one is

An ideal gas is found to obey $p V^{3/2} = \text{constant}$ during an adiabatic process. If such a gas initially at a temperature $T$ is adiabatically compressed to half of its initial volume, then its final temperature is

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:

The work done in an adiabatic change in an ideal gas depends upon only

The internal energy of a gas will increase when it
