MCQ
The $PV$ diagram shows four different possible reversible processes performed on a monatomic ideal gas. Process $A$ is isobaric (constant pressure). Process $B$ is isothermal (constant temperature). Process $C$ is adiabatic. Process $D$ is isochoric (constant volume). For which process$(es)$ does the temperature of the gas decrease?
  • A
    Process $A$ only
  • B
    Process $C$ only
  • Only Processes $C$ and $D$
  • D
    Only Processes $B$, $C$ and $D$

Answer

Correct option: C.
Only Processes $C$ and $D$
c
In $A$ temperature will increase

in $B$ temperature remains constant

in $C \& D$ temperature decrease.

Hence, option $C$ is the correct answer.
