In adiabatic compression, which of the following is true?

Question

Two gases A and B are filled at the same pressure in separate cylinders with movable pistons of radii \(r_A\) and \(r_B\) respectively. On supplying an equal amount of heat to both the cylinders, their pressures remain constant and their pistons are displaced by 16 cm and 9 cm respectively. If the change in their internal energies is the same, then the ratio \(r_A / r_B\) is:

Answer 1

Adiabatic compression involves zero heat transfer with the environment. Work performed on the gas causes its compression, which elevates its internal energy and consequently its temperature.
