$A$ sample of gas at temperature $T$ is adiabatically expanded to double its volume. The work done by the gas in the process is (given, $\gamma = 3/2$):

  • A
    $W = TR[\sqrt{2} - 2]$
  • B
    $W = \frac{T}{R}[\sqrt{2} - 2]$
  • C
    $W = \frac{R}{T}[2 - \sqrt{2}]$
  • D
    $W = RT[2 - \sqrt{2}]$

Consider a spherical shell of radius $R$ at temperature $T$. The black body radiation inside it can be considered as an ideal gas of photons with internal energy per unit volume $E = \frac{U}{V} \propto T^4$ and pressure $P = \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{U}{V} \right)$. If the shell now undergoes an adiabatic expansion,the relation between $T$ and $R$ is:

Which of the following is true in the case of an adiabatic process, where $\gamma = C_p / C_V$?
