    Figure shows a parabolic graph between T and 1/V for a mixture of a gas undergoing an adiabatic process. What is the ratio of \[{{V}_{rms}}\] of molecules and speed of sound in mixture?

    A) \[\sqrt{3/2}\]

    B) \[\sqrt{2}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{2/3}\]

    D) \[\sqrt{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] From graph, \[{{T}^{2}}V=\text{const}\text{.}\]                   ....(i) As we know that \[T{{V}^{\gamma -1}}=\text{const}\text{.}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,V{{T}^{\frac{1}{\gamma -1}}}=\text{const}\text{.}\]                                     ...(ii) On comparing (1) and (2), we get \[\Rightarrow \gamma =3/2\] Also \[{{v}_{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3P}{\rho }}\] and \[{{v}_{sound}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{P}_{\gamma }}}{\rho }}\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{{{v}_{rms}}}{{{v}_{sound}}}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{\gamma }}=\sqrt{2}\]
