A monoatomic gas, initially at temperature `T_(1)`, is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature. `T_(2)` by releasing the piston suddenly. Of `L_(1) and L_(2)` are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively, then `T_(1)//T_(2)` is given by

A

`((L_1)/( L_2))^(2/3)`

B

C

`( L_2)/( L_1)`

D
