JEE Main 2025 Physics question
Assertion (A) : In an insulated container, a gas is adiabatically shrunk to half of its initial volume. The temperature of the gas decreases. Reason (R) : Free expansion of an ideal gas is an irreversible and an adiabatic process. In the light of the above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Answer: (3)
Solution
Adiabatic compression increases temperature, so (A) is false. Free expansion is indeed irreversible and adiabatic, so (R) is true.
