`:. lt lt epsilon gt gt_("rot") = 2 xx (1)/(2) kT` (by equipartition principle)
`= lt lt 2 xx (1)/(2) I omega^(2) gt gt`
`kT = I lt lt omega^(2) gt gt implies omega_(rms) = sqrt((kT)/(I))`
Therefore, `omega_(rms) = sqrt((1.38 xx 10^(-23) xx 300)/(2 xx 10^(-40))) = 4.5 xx 10^(9) "rad"//s`

As adiabatic vessel contains `n_(1) = 3` mole of diatomic gas. Moment of inertia of each molecule is `I = 2.76 xx 10^(-46) kg m^(2)` and root-mean-square angular velocity is `omega_(0) = 5 xx 10^(12) rad//s`. Another adiabatic vessel contains `n_(2) = 5` mole of a monatomic gas at a temperature `470 K`. Assume gases to be ideal, calculate root-mean-square angular velocity of diatomic molecules when the two vessels are connected by a thin tube of negligible volume. Boltzmann constant `k = 1.38 xx 10^(-23) J//:"molecule"`.

Answer» We know according to law of equipartition of energy, each gas molecule has `1//2 kT` energy associated with each of its degrees of freedom. As a diatomic gas molecule has two rotational degrees of freedom, final temperature the system is
`T_(f) = (f_(1) n_(1) T_(1) + f_(2) n_(2) T_(2))/(f_(1) n_(1) + f_(2) n_(2))`
Here for diatomic gas,
`f_(1) = 5, n = 3` and `T_(1) = 250 K`
For monatomic gas,
`f_(2) = 3, n_(2) = 5` and `T_(2) = 470 K`
Thus from Eq. (i),
`T_(f) = (5 xx 3 xx 250 + 3 xx 5 xx 470)/(5 xx 3 + 3 xx 5) = 360 `
Thus final mixuture of the two gases is at temperature `360 `. If final rms angular velocity of diatomic gas molecules is `omega_(rms f)`, according to law of equipartition of energy, we have
`(1)/(2) I omega_(rms f)^(2) = kT`
or `omega_(rms f) = sqrt((2 kT)/(I))`
`= sqrt((2 xx 1.38 xx 10^(-23) xx 360)/(2.76 xx 10^(-46)))`
`omega_(rms f) = 6 xx 10^(12) rad//s`

A gas undergoes change in its state from position `A` to position `B` via three different path as shown in Fig. Select the correct alternatives : A. Change in internal energy in all the three paths is equal.B. In all the three paths heat is absorbed by the gas .C. Heat absorbed `//` released by the gas is maximum in path `(1)`D. Temperature of the gas first increases and then decreases continuously in path `(1)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C
Internal energy `(U)` depends only on the initial and final states. Hence. `Delta U` will be same in all the three paths. In all the three paths, work done by the gas is positive and the product `PV` or temperature `T` is increasing . Therefore, internal energy is also increasing. So, from the first law of thermodynamics, heat will be absorbed b the gas. Further, area under `P-V` graph is maximum in path 1 while `DeltaU` is same for all the three paths . Thereforr, heat absorbed by the gas is maximum in path 1. For temperature of the gas, we can see that product `PV` first increases in path 1 but whether it is decreasing or increasing later on we cannot say anything about it unless the exact values are known to us.

In a polytropic process an ideal gas (y= 1.40) was compressed from volume `V_1 = 10 litres to v_2 =5 litres`. The pressure increased from `p_1 = 10^(5) Pato p_(2) = 5xx10^(5)` Pa.Determine: (a) the polytropic expoment n, (b) the molar heat capacity of the gas for the process.

Answer» Correct Answer - (a)2.32 (b)1.7R
In a polytropic process `p V^(n) = k(a constant)`
`therefore p^(1)V_(1)^(n) = p_(2)V_(2)^(n) or (V_(1)/(V_(2)))^(n) = p_(2)/p_(1)`
or `n = (Inp_(2)//p_(1))/(InV_(1)//V_(2))`
Here `n =(In 5)/(In 2) = (1.6094)/(0.6931) = 2.32`
In a polytropic process
`C=(R)/(gamma-1) =(R)/(n-1) =(R)/(1.4-1)-(R)/(2.32-1) =1.74R`

i.e `DeltaQ` = work done by gas in isothermal process which went through an isothermal process from `(p_(1),V_(1)T)` to `(p_(2),V_(2),T)`
`"or" " " Delta Q=muRT"log"_(e)((V_(2))/(V_(1)))` (ii)
For 1 mole of an ideal gas , `mu=1`
So, from Eqs. (i) and (ii) ,we get
`"or" " " DeltaS=R"log"_(e)((V_(2))/(V_(1)))=R "In"((V_(2))/(V_(1)))`

A black body radiates heat at temperatures `T_(1)` and `T_(2) (T_(2) gt T_(1)` the frequency corresponding to maxium energy isA. less at `T_(1)`B. more at `T_(1)`C. equal in the two casesD. cannot say

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Acoording to wien , Law
`t_(m)prop(l)/(T^(-))rArr(C)/(v)prop(l)/(T)`
i.e `vpropT^(-)`
Since `T_(1)ltT_(2)^(-)`
therefore `V_(1)ltV_(2)`

A black body radiates heat at temperatures `T_(1)` and `T_(2) (T_(2) gt T_(1)` the frequency corresponding to maxium energy isA. more at `T_(1)`B. more ar `T_(2)`C. equal for ` T_(1)andT_(2)`D. independent of `T_(1)andT_(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Energy radiated by the bodies are
`E_(1)=sigmaAT_(1)^(4)and E_(2)=sigmaAT_(2)^(4)`
`rArr" " (E_(2))/(E_(1))=((T_(2))/(T_(1)))gt1" " (becauseT_(2)gtT_(1))`
`rArr" " E_(2)gtE_(1)" or "hv_(2)gthv_(1)`
`"or " v_(2)gtv_(2)`
Thus,m frequency corresponding to `T_(2)` is more.

Assume that the temperature remains essentially constant in the upper parts of the atmosphere. The atmospheric pressure varies with height as. (the mean molecular weight of air is M, where `P_(0)=` atmospheric pressure at ground reference)A. `P_()e^((-3Mgh)/(2RT))`B. `P_(0)e^((-Mgh)/(2RT))`C. `P_(0)e^((-3Mgh)/(RT))`D. `P_(0)e^((Mgh)/(RT))`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Since pressure decreased with height
`dp=pgdh`
Consider a small volume `deltaV` of air of mass `Deltam`
`P Delta V=((Deltam)/(M))RT`
`P=(Deltam)/(Deltav)(RT)/(M)rArrP=(rhoRT)/(M)rArrrho=(PM)/(RT)`
`therefore dp=(PM)/(RT)g dh`
`int_(P_(0))^(P)(dP)/(P)=-(Mg)/(RT)int_(0)^(h)dh`
In `((P)/(P_(0)))=-(-Mgh)/(RT)`
`P=P_(0)e^((-Mgh)/(RT))`

Assume that the temperature remains essentially constant in the upper part of the atmosphere. Obrain an epression for the variation in pressure in the upper atmosphere with height, the mean molecular weight of air is M.

Answer» Suppose the pressure at height h is p and that at `h+dh is p+dp. Then `
`dp=-rhog dh. …(i)`
Now considering any small volume `DeltaV` if air of mass
`Deltam, `
`pDeltaV=nRt=(Deltam)/(M)RT`
`p=(Deltam)/(DeltaV) (RT)/(M)=(rhoRT)/(M)`
`or, =rho=(M)/(RT)p.`
Putting in (i),
`dp=-(M)/(RT)pg dh`ltbr.`or, `int_(p_(0))^(p)(dp)/(p)=int_(0)^(h)-(M)/(RT)g dh`
`or, In(p)/(p_(0))=-(Mgh)/(RT)`
where p_(0) is the pressure at h=0.`
Thus, `p=p_(0) e^(-(Mgh)/(RT)).`
