A monoatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature T1 is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature T2 by releasing the piston suddenly. L1 and L2 are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively, then T1/T2 is given by? a) (L1/L2)(2/3) b) L1/L2 c) L2/L1 d) (L2/L1)(2/3)
