MCQ
Which is the correct statement
  • For an isothermal change $P V=$ constant
  • B
    In an isothermal process the change in internal energy must be equal to the work done
  • C
    For an adiabatic change $\frac{P_2}{P_1}=\left(\frac{V_2}{V_1}\right)^\gamma$, where $\gamma$ is the ratio of specific heats
  • D
    In an adiabatic process work done must be equal to the heat entering the system

Answer

Correct option: A.
For an isothermal change $P V=$ constant
(a) Since $P V=R T$ and $T=$ constant; $\therefore P V=$ constant.

Two particles each of mass $m$ and charge $q$ are attached to the two ends of a light rigid rod of length $2R$. The rod is rotated at constant angular speed about a perpendicular axis passing through its centre. The ratio of the magnitudes of the magnetic moment of the system and its angular momentum about the centre of the rod is
A transverse sinusoidal wave of amplitude $a$, wavelength $\lambda$ and frequency $n$ is travelling on a stretched string. The maximum speed of any point on the string is $v / 10$, where $v$ is the speed of propagation of the wave. If $a=10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}$ and $v=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$, then $\lambda$ and $n$ are given by

Two metallic spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ are made of the same material and have identical surface finish. The mass of $S_1$ is three times that of $S_2$. Both the spheres are heated to the same high temperature and placed in the same room having lower temperature but are thermally insulated from each other. The ratio of the initial rate of cooling of $S_1$ to that of $S_2$ is

Two identical straight wires are stretched so as to produce $6$ beats per second when vibrating simultaneously. On changing the tension in one of them, the beat frequency remains unchanged. Denoting by $T_1, T_2$, the higher and the lower initial tensions in the strings, then it could be said that while making the above change in tension
The tension in the spring is
