Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To show that the slope of the adiabatic curve at any point is \( \gamma \) times the slope of the isothermal curve at the corresponding point, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the equations for adiabatic and isothermal processes - The equation for an adiabatic process is given by: \[ PV^\gamma = \text{constant} \] - The equation for an isothermal process is given by: ...
