1.	A monoatomic gas, initially at temperature T_(1), is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature. T_(2) by releasing the piston suddenly. Of L_(1) and L_(2) are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively, then T_(1)//T_(2) is given by
Answer» `[L_(1)/L_(2)]^(2/3` `[L_(1)/L_(2)]` `[L_(2)/L_(1)]` `[L_(2)/L_(1)]^(2/3)` ANSWER :D
