The slopes of isothermal and adiabatic curves are related as
A
Isothermal curve slope = adiabatic curve slope
B
Isothermal curve slope = $\gamma \times $ adiabatic curve slope
C
Adiabatic curve slope = $\gamma \times $ isothermal curve slope
D
Adiabatic curve slope = $\frac{1}{2} \times $isothermal curve slope
Solution
(c) For Isothermal process $PV = $constant
$ \Rightarrow \left( {\frac{{dP}}{{dV}}} \right) = \frac{{ – P}}{V} = $ Slope of Isothermal curve
For adiabatic$P{V^\gamma } = $constant
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{dP}}{{dV}} = \frac{{ – \gamma P}}{V} = $ Slop of adiabatic curve slope
Clearly, ${\left( {\frac{{dP}}{{dV}}} \right)_{{\rm{adiabatic}}}} = \gamma {\left( {\frac{{dP}}{{dV}}} \right)_{{\rm{Isothermal }}}}$
