Consider a spherical shell of radius R at temperature T. The black body radiation inside it can be considered as an ideal gas of photons with internal energy per unit volumeu=UV∝T4and pressurep=13UV. If the shell now undergoes an adiabatic expansion the relation between T and R is:

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

∵ in an adiabatic process.

Q=0

So by first law of thermodynamics

Q=dU+W

⇒0=dU+W

⇒W=-dU

∴W=PdV

⇒PdV=-dU....(i)

Given thatUV∝T4⇒U=kVT4

⇒dU=kdVT4=KT4dV+4T3V dT

Also,P=13UV=13kVT4V=KT43 

Putting these values in equation (i)

⇒KT43dV=-kT4dV+4T3V dT

⇒TdV3=-TdV-4VdT

⇒4T3dV=-4VdT

⇒13dVV=-dTT

⇒13ln⁡V=-ln⁡T ⇒ln⁡V=ln⁡T-3

⇒VT3=constant

43πR3 T3=constant

RT=constant

⇒T∝1R
