For an adiabatic process, the factor which remains constant is: (all the notations have their usual meaning)

A

Pγ1TγP^{\gamma - 1} T^\gamma

B

TV1γTV^{1 - \gamma}

C

Vγ1TγV^{\gamma - 1} T^\gamma

D

P1γTγP^{1 - \gamma} T^\gamma

Step-by-Step Solution

For an ideal gas undergoing an adiabatic process, the relationship between pressure and volume is given by PVγ=constantPV^\gamma = \text{constant}. From the ideal gas equation, PV=nRTPV = nRT, we can write V=nRTPV = \frac{nRT}{P}. Substituting this into the adiabatic equation: P(nRTP)γ=constantP \left(\frac{nRT}{P}\right)^\gamma = \text{constant}     P1γTγ=constant\implies P^{1 - \gamma} T^\gamma = \text{constant}. Also, the relationship between temperature and volume is TVγ1=constantTV^{\gamma - 1} = \text{constant}. Therefore, the correct factor is P1γTγP^{1 - \gamma} T^\gamma.
