In the $p-V$ diagram below, the dashed curved line is an adiabat.For a process that is described by a straight line joining two points $X$ and $Y$ on the adiabat (solid line in the diagram) heat is (Hint consider the variation in temperature from $X$ to $Y$ along the straight line)

A

absorbed throughout from $X$ to $Y$

B

released throughout from $X$ to $Y$

C

absorbed from $X$ upto an intermediate point $Z$ (not shown in the figure) and then released from $Z$ to $Y$

D

released from $X$ upto an intermediate point $Z$ (not shown in the figure) and then absorbed from $Z$ to $Y$

(KVPY-2013)

Solution

(c)

As we move along line $X Y$, it cuts a isotherm at higher temperature $\left(T_2 > T_3\right)$

$\left(T_2 > T_3\right)$ but then from $Z$ to $Y$ line moves to a low temperature isotherm. So, heat is absorbed upto $Z$ and then it is released from $Z$ to $Y$.
