(d) ${T^\gamma }{P^{1 - \gamma }} = $constant ==> $T \propto {P^{\frac{{\gamma - 1}}{\gamma }}}$
==> $\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{P_2}}}{{{P_1}}}} \right)^{\frac{{\gamma - 1}}{\gamma }}} = {\left( {\frac{1}{8}} \right)^{\frac{{5/3 - 1}}{{5/3}}}}$
${T_2} = 300 \times {\left( {\frac{1}{8}} \right)^{0.4}} = 131K = - 142^\circ C$

    A monoatomic ideal 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. If ${L_1}$ and ${L_2}$ are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively, then ${T_1}/{T_2}$ is given by
