हिन्दीA gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume is again reduced to half. Then
Correct answer · Option 4
Compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be done.
Explanation
In a \( P-V \) diagram, the slope of the adiabatic curve is steeper than that of the isothermal curve (\( \gamma > 1 \)). Therefore, for the same compression to half volume, the area under the adiabatic curve (work done on the gas) is greater than under the isothermal curve.
