The bulk modulus of a gas is defined as $B = -V (dp / dV)$. For an adiabatic process,the variation of $B$ is proportional to $p^n$. For an ideal gas,$n$ is:

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $5 / 3$
  • D
    $2$

$Assertion :$ Adiabatic expansion is always accompanied by fall in temperature.
$Reason :$ In adiabatic process, volume is inversely proportional to temperature.

$A$ given ideal gas with $\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v} = 1.5$ is at a temperature $T$. If the gas is compressed adiabatically to one-fourth of its initial volume,the final temperature will be ..... $T$.
