A monoatomic 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 and are teh lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively, then / is given by
γ = 5/3
TVγ-1= K⇒Tα 1/vγ-1
But V = AL; A is constant
