10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
easy
The coefficient of superficial expansion of a solid is $2 \times 10^{-5} {°C^{-1}}$. It's coefficient of linear expansion is
A
$4 \times 10^{-5} {°C^{-1}}$
B
$3 \times 10^{-5} {°C^{-1}}$
C
$2 \times 10^{-5} {°C^{-1}}$
D
$1 \times 10^{-5} {°C^{-1}}$
Solution
(d) $\alpha = \frac{\beta }{2} = \frac{2 \times 10^{ – 5}}{2} = {10^{ – 5}} {°C^{-1}}$
