MCQ
Given below are two statements. One is labelled as
Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason(R).
Assertion (A) : In an insulated container, a gas is adiabatically shrunk to half of its initial volume. The temperature of the gas decreases.
Reason (R) : Free expansion of an ideal gas is an irreversible and an adiabatic process.
In the light of the above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
  • A
    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  • B
    (A) is true but (R) is false
  • (A) is false but ( R ) is true
  • D
    Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)

Answer

Correct option: C.
(A) is false but ( R ) is true
(C) (A) is false but ( R ) is true
Sol. (A) $T _1 V_1^{\gamma-1}= T _2 V_2^{\gamma-1}$
Temp increases
R) Free expansion is assumed fast, so Adiabatic

A student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire, exactly $2 \mathrm{~m}$ long, by Searle's method. In a particular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be $0.8 \mathrm{~mm}$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.05 \mathrm{~mm}$ at a load of exactly $1.0 \mathrm{~kg}$. The student also measures the diameter of the wire to be $0.4 \mathrm{~mm}$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01 \mathrm{~mm}$. Take $g=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ (exact). The Young's modulus obtained from the reading is
