A change in pressure and volume of a gas when no heat is allowed to enter into a escape from the gas is called an adiabatic change. Obviously, temperature of gas will change in adiabatic changes. Two essential conditions for a perfect adiabatic chage are: (a) the wall of the container must be perfectly non conducting. (b) the process of compression or expansion must be sudden. Read the above passage and answer the following questions: (i) Pressure on a certain volume of air is doubled adiabatically. Will its volume become half, more than half or less than half? Justify. (ii) What value of life do you learn from this study?
