The coefficient of linear expansion of ordinary glass is three times that of Pyrex glass. An ordinary glass rod and a Pyrex glas
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

b. 3 times

Explanation:

Lets take

Coefficient for ordinary glass = α₁

Coefficient for pyrex glass = α₂

 Given that α₁ = 3 α₂

Initial length of both glasses are equal = L

Change in the temperature is also same .= ΔT

We know that change in the length  given as

ΔL =  L α ΔT

Therefore

\dfrac{\Delta L_1}{\Delta L_2}=\dfrac{L\alpha_1\Delta T}{L\alpha_2\Delta T}

\dfrac{\Delta L_1}{\Delta L_2}=\dfrac{3\alpha_2}{\alpha_2}

ΔL₁ = 3ΔL₂

Therefore change in the length of original glass is three time of pyrex glass.

b. 3 times
