An ideal gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion, a process in which no heat flows into or out of the gas. As a result, (a) the temperature of the gas remains constant and the pressure decreases. (b) both the temperature and pressure of the gas decrease. (c) the temperature of the gas decreases and the pressure increases. (d) both the temperature and volume of the gas increase. (e) both the temperature and pressure of the gas increase. Group of answer choices a b c d e

(b) both the temperature and pressure of the gas decrease.

Explanation:

An ideal gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion, a process in which no heat flows into or out of the gas. As a result, both the temperature and pressure of the gas decrease.

Gay Lussac states that when the volume of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Gay Lussac's law is given by;

Also, according to the first law of thermodynamics which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another. Thus, the ideal gas does work on the environment with respect to the volume and temperature.

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle  

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.
