The rods of length $L_1$ and $L_2$ are made of materials whose coefficients of linear expansion are $\alpha _1$ and $\alpha _2$ respectively. If the difference between the two length is independent of temperatures, then

  • A

    $\frac{{{L_1}}}{{{L_2}}} = \frac{{{\alpha _1}}}{{{\alpha _2}}}$

  • B

    $\frac{{{L_1}}}{{{L_2}}} = \frac{{{\alpha _2}}}{{{\alpha _1}}}$

  • C

    $L_1^2{\alpha _1} = L_2^2{\alpha _2}$

  • D

    $\alpha _1^2{L_1} = d_2^2{L_2}$
