Q81
The (W/Q) of a Carnot engine is 1/6, now the temperature of sink is reduced by 62 o C, then this ratio becomes twice, therefore the initial temperature of the sink and source are respectively
A 33 o C, 67 o C
B 37 o C, 99 o C
C 67 o C, 33 o C
D 97 K, 37 K
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Initially the efficiency of the engine was

16{1 \over 6}

which increases to

13{1 \over 3}

when the sink temperature reduces by 62º C.

η=16=1T2T1\eta = {1 \over 6} = 1 - {{{T_2}} \over {{T_1}}}

when T 2 = sink temperature , T 1 = source temperature

T2=56T1\Rightarrow {T_2} = {5 \over 6}{T_1}

Secondly,

13=1T262T1=1T2T1+62T1{1 \over 3} = 1 - {{{T_2} - 62} \over {{T_1}}} = 1 - {{{T_2}} \over {{T_1}}} + {{62} \over {{T_1}}}
=156+62T1= 1 - {5 \over 6} + {{62} \over {{T_1}}}
T1=62×6=372K=372273=99oC\Rightarrow {T_1} = 62 \times 6 = 372K = 372 - 273 = {99^o}C

&

T2=56×372=310K=310273=37oC{T_2} = {5 \over 6} \times 372 = 310K = 310 - 273 = {37^o}C
Q82
To find out degree of freedom, the expansion is
A f=2γ1f = {2 \over {\gamma - 1}}
B f=γ+12f = {{\gamma + 1} \over 2}
C f=2γ+1f = {2 \over {\gamma + 1}}
D f=1γ+1f = {1 \over {\gamma + 1}}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
γ=1+2f\gamma = 1 + {2 \over f}

where f is the degree of freedom \therefore

2f=γ1f=2γ1{2 \over f} = \gamma - 1 \Rightarrow f = {2 \over {\gamma - 1}}
Q83
Identify the characteristics of an adiabatic process in a monoatomic gas. (A) Internal energy is constant. (B) Work done in the process is equal to the change in internal energy. (C) The product of temperature and volume is a constant. (D) The product of pressure and volume is a constant. (E) The work done to change the temperature from T1\mathrm{T}_1 to T2\mathrm{T}_2 is proportional to (T2T1)\left(\mathrm{T}_2-\mathrm{T}_1\right). Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
A (B), (D) only
B (B), (E) only
C (A), (C), (E) only
D (A), (C), (D) only
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

In an adiabatic process, the key characteristics for a monoatomic gas are: No Heat Exchange: The adiabatic process occurs without heat transfer, meaning Q=0 Q = 0 .

Work Done and Internal Energy Change: The work done on or by the system is equal to the change in internal energy.

Mathematically, this is expressed as: ΔU=W \Delta U = -W where ΔU\Delta U is the change in internal energy and WW is the work done.

Work and Temperature Relationship: The work done when changing the temperature from T1 T_1 to T2 T_2 is proportional to the difference between these temperatures.

This relationship can be expressed as: Work Done=nCvΔT(T2T1) |\text{Work Done}| = nC_v \Delta T \propto (T_2 - T_1) Here, n n is the number of moles, Cv C_v is the molar heat capacity at constant volume, and ΔT\Delta T is the change in temperature.

From these characteristics, the correct features of an adiabatic process in a monoatomic gas relate to the relationships involving work done and temperature change, specifically options (B) and (E).

Q84
Each side of a box made of metal sheet in cubic shape is 'a' at room temperature 'T', the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal sheet is 'α\alpha'. The metal sheet is heated uniformly, by a small temperature Δ\DeltaT, so that its new temperature is T + Δ\DeltaT. Calculate the increase in the volume of the metal box.
A 3a3α\alphaΔ\DeltaT
B 4π\pia3α\alphaΔ\DeltaT
C 43{{4 \over 3}}π\pia3α\alphaΔ\DeltaT
D 4a3α\alphaΔ\DeltaT
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

We know that,

γ=3α\gamma = 3\alpha

.... (i) where, α\alpha is the coefficient of linear expansion and γ\gamma is the coefficient of volume expansion.

We know that,

ΔVV=γΔT{{\Delta V} \over V} = \gamma \Delta T
ΔVV=3αΔT\Rightarrow {{\Delta V} \over V} = 3\alpha \Delta T

[from Eq. (i)]

ΔV=3a3αΔT\Delta V = 3{a^3}\alpha \Delta T

[ \because volume of cube = a3 ]

Q85
If Cp{C_p} and Cv{C_v} denote the specific heats of nitrogen per unit mass at constant pressure and constant volume respectively, then
A CpCv=28R{C_p} - {C_v} = 28R
B CpCv=R/28{C_p} - {C_v} = R/28
C CpCv=R/14{C_p} - {C_v} = R/14
D CpCv=R{C_p} - {C_v} = R
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

According to Mayer's relationship

CpCv=R{C_p} - {C_v} = R

\therefore

CpMCvM=RM{{{C_p}} \over M} - {{{C_v}} \over M} = {R \over M}
\,\,\,\,\,\,

Here

M=28.M=28.
Q86
Two different wires having lengths L1 and L2, and respective temperature coefficient of linear expansion α\alpha 1 and α\alpha 2, are joined end-to-end. Then the effective temperature coefficient of linear expansion is :
A 2α1α22\sqrt {{\alpha _1}{\alpha _2}}
B 4α1α2α1+α2L2L1(L2+L1)24{{{\alpha _1}{\alpha _2}} \over {{\alpha _1} + {\alpha _2}}}{{{L_2}{L_1}} \over {{{\left( {{L_2} + {L_1}} \right)}^2}}}
C α1+α22{{{\alpha _1} + {\alpha _2}} \over 2}
D α1L1+α2L2L1+L2{{{\alpha _1}{L_1} + {\alpha _2}{L_2}} \over {{L_1} + {L_2}}}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

L'1 = L1(1 + α\alpha1

Δ\Delta

T) L'2 = L2(1 + α\alpha2

Δ\Delta

T) L'eq = (L1 + L2) (1 + α\alphaavg

Δ\Delta

T) \therefore (L1 + L2) (1 + α\alphaavg

Δ\Delta

T) = L1(1 + α\alpha1

Δ\Delta

T) + L2(1 + α\alpha2

Δ\Delta

T) \Rightarrow (L1 + L2)α\alphaavg = L1α\alpha1 + L2α\alpha2 \Rightarrow α\alphaavg =

α1L1+α2L2L1+L2{{{\alpha _1}{L_1} + {\alpha _2}{L_2}} \over {{L_1} + {L_2}}}

A 4πr02R2σT4r24\pi r_0^2{R^2}\sigma {{{T^4}} \over {{r^2}}}
B πr02R2σT4r2\pi r_0^2{R^2}\sigma {{{T^4}} \over {{r^2}}}
C r02R2σT44πr2r_0^2{R^2}\sigma {{{T^4}} \over {4\pi {r^2}}}
D R2σT4r2{R^2}\sigma {{{T^4}} \over {{r^2}}}
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Total power radiated by Sun

=σT4×4πR2= \sigma {T^4} \times 4\pi {R^2}

The intensity of power at earth's surface

=σT4×4πR24πr2= {{\sigma {T^4} \times 4\pi {R^2}} \over {4\pi {r^2}}}

Total power received by Earth

=σT4R2r2(πr02)= {{\sigma {T^4}{R^2}} \over {{r^2}}}\left( {\pi r_0^2} \right)

Q89
A thermometer graduated according to a linear scale reads a value x0 when in contact with boiling water, and x0/3 when in contact with ice. What is the temperature of an object in oC, if this thermometer in the contact with the object reads x0/2 ?
A 60
B 35
C 25
D 40
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

\Rightarrow ToC =

x06{{{x_0}} \over 6}

&

(x0x03)\left( {{x_0} - {{{x_0}} \over 3}} \right)

= (100 - 0oC) x0 =

3002{{300} \over 2}

\Rightarrow ToC =

1506{{150} \over 6}

= 25oC

Q90
If one mole of the polyatomic gas is having two vibrational modes and β\beta is the ratio of molar specific heats for polyatomic gas (β=CPCV)\left( {\beta = {{{C_P}} \over {{C_V}}}} \right) then the value of β\beta is :
A 1.02
B 1.35
C 1.2
D 1.25
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

For polyatomic gas molecule has 3 rotational degrees of freedom, 3 translational degrees of freedom, and 2 vibrational modes.

So, number of vibrational degrees of freedom = 2 ×\times 2 = 4 Degree of freedom of polyatomic gas f = T + R + V f = 3 + 3 + 4 = 10

β=1+2f=1+210\beta = 1 + {2 \over f} = 1 + {2 \over 10}
β=1210=1.2\beta = {{12} \over 10} = 1.2
