Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance in a medium. For example, when some pebbles are thrown in water, the water particles gets disturbed. A wave is characterized by the following parameters i.e.

Frequency

Wavelength etc

The number of oscillations or vibrations in a medium is called the frequency of a wave.

Also, the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs is called the wavelength of a wave. The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave is given by :

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength

The length of a 100 mm bar of metal increases by 0.3 mm when subjected to a temperature rise of 100°C. The coefficient of linear
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

α = 3×10^-5 K^-1

Explanation:

let ΔL be the change in length of the bar of metal, ΔT be the change in temperature, L be the original length of the metal bar and let α be the coefficient of linear expansion.

then, the coefficient of linear expansion is given by:

α = ΔL/(ΔT×L)

   = (0.3×10^-3)/(100)(100×10^-3)

   = 3×10^-5 K^-1

Therefore, the coefficient of linear expansion is 3×10^-5 K^-1
