Thermal Physics JEE

Forming a total of 10% of the entire Physics, this unit has some very important chapters. 3 questions appear every year from this unit but it has a distinct distribution when it comes to individual chapters. KTG & Thermodynamics is the bread and butter of the unit and must not be ignored at any cost while the other two are optional. Thermodynamics is also essential in the subject of chemistry.

Q.

A monatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature  is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature  by releasing the piston suddenly. If  are the lengths of the gas column, before and after expansion, respectively, then  is given by

Q.
