Work done by a gas an ideal diatomic gas, for which the specific heat capacites (i. e. per mole) are cy = 5r/2 and cp = 7r/2, occupies a volume of 2m at a pressure of 4 atm and a temperature of 20°c. the gas is compressed to a final pressure of 8 atm. compute the final volume, the final tem- perature, the work done by the gas, the heat released, and the change in internal energy for: (a) a reversible isothermal compression. (b) a reversible adiabatic compression. hint: prove that pv" where 7 = cp/cu for an adiabatic process.

1. what is the relationship between wavelength and the penetrating power of an electromagnetic wave? a) the penetrating power has no relationship to the wavelength. b) the penetrating power increases as the wavelength increases. c) the penetrating power decreases as the wavelength increases. d) the penetrating power decreases as the wavelength decreases. 2. as ice melts and turns into water, the speed of sound through the material would most likely do what? justify your answer. a) the speed would not change because the material is always water. b) the speed of sound would increase because the density of water is less than that of ice. c) the speed of sound would increase because energy is added to ice in order to make it melt. d) the speed of sound would decrease because sound travels faster through solids than liquids. 3.which of these waves need a medium to travel through? a) sound b) x-rays c) infrared rays d) visible light
