Consider a spherical shell of radius R at temperature T. The black body radiation inside it can be considered as an ideal gas of photons with internal energy per unit volume `u=U/V propT^4` and pressure `P=1/3(U/V)`. If the shell now undergoes an adiabatic expansion the relation between T and R is :

A

`T prop s^(-R)`

B

`T prop S^(-3 R)`

C

` T prop 1/R`

D

`T prop 1/R^3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

According to equestion,
`p=(1)/(3)(U/V) implies (nRT)/(V)=(1)/(3)(U/V)" "[:. Pv=nRT]`
or `(nRT)/(V) propto (1)/(3)T_4 " or " VT^3=` constant or `(4)/(3)pi R^3T^3`= constant or TR= constant `implies T propto (1)/(R )`.
