What is the relation between linear expansion coefficient (α), Areal expansion coefficient (β) and volume expansion coefficient (ϒ)

What is the relation between linear expansion coefficient (α), Areal expansion coefficient (β) and volume expansion coefficient (ϒ) Correct Answer γ = 3 × α and β = 2 × α

CONCEPT :

  • Linear expansion coefficient (α):- Change in the length of an object per unit length per degree temperature change.
  • Areal expansion coefficient (β):- Change in area of an object per unit area per degree temperature change.
  • Volumetric expansion coefficient (ϒ):- Change in volume of an object per unit volume per degree temperature change.


EXPLANATION :

Relation between α, β and ϒ is

β = 2α, ϒ = 3α

So, option B is correct
