AN IDEAL MONOATOMIC GAS AT NTP IS ENCLOSED IN AN ADIABATIC VERTICAL CYLINDER BETWEEN TWO LIGHT MOVABLE PISTONS (ONE UP AND ONE DOWN). SPRING WITH FORCE CONSTANT K IS CONNECTED TO THE UPPER PISTON AND IS IN A RELAXED STATE INITIALLY. THE LOWER PISTON IS MOVED UP BY A DISTANCE OF H/2, H BEING THE INITIAL LENGTH OF GAS COLUMN. IT IS OBSERED THAT THE UPPER PISTON MOVES UP BY H/16.
Q. WHEN THE LOWER PISTON IS MOVED UPWARDS BY H/2,THE COMPRESSION
A) LEADS TO COOLING
B) TAKES PLACE ISOTHERMALLY
C) TAKES PLACE ADIABATICALLY
D) LEADS TO HEATING
