Question

A spherical bubble inside water has radius R. Take the pressure inside the bubble and the water pressure to be 𝑝0. The bubble now gets compressed radially in an adiabatic manner so that its radius becomes (𝑅−𝑎). For 𝑎≪𝑅 the magnitude of the work done in the process is given by (4𝜋𝑝0𝑅2𝑎)X, where X is a constant and γ=Cp/CV=41/30. The value of X is________.

Work done in adiabatic process

 W=P1V1P2V2γ1=P043πR3P0RRa3γ43π(Ra)341301     here 3γ=4110=P043π1130R3R41/10(Ra)34110=30P01143πR3R41/10(Ra)1110=10P04π11R3R41/10R11/101aR11/10=10P04π11R3R31aR11/10=10P04π11R311-11a10R=-4πP0R2a

Magnitude of work done W=4πP0R2a

So, X=1
