The slope of isothermal and adiabatic curves are related as

The slope of isothermal and adiabatic curves are related as

Options

  1. Aisothermal curve slope = adiabatic curve slope
  2. Bisothermal curve slope =γ×=\gamma \times adiabatic curve slope
  3. Cadiabatic curve slope =γ×=\gamma \times isothermal curve slope
  4. Dadiabatic curve slope =12×=\frac{1}{2} \times isothermal curve slope

Correct answer

C. adiabatic curve slope =γ×=\gamma \times isothermal curve slope

Step-by-step solution

For isothermal process pV=p V= constant ⇒\Rightarrow \quad\left(\frac{d p}{d V}\right)=-\frac{p}{V}=slopeofisothermalcurveForadiabaticprocess,slope of isothermal curve For adiabatic process,\mathrm{pV}^\gamma=constantconstant\Rightarrow \quad\left(\frac{d p}{d V}\right)=-\frac{\gamma p}{V}=slopeofadiabaticcurveClearly,slope of adiabatic curve Clearly,\quad\left(\frac{d p}{d V}\right)_{\text{adiabatic }}=\gamma\left(\frac{d p}{d V}\right)_{\text{isothermal }}
