NEETPhysicsThermal Properties of Matter
We would like to prepare a scale whose length does not change with temperature. It is proposed to prepare a unit scale of this type whose length remains, say 10 cm. We can use a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length whose length (both components) would change in such a way that difference between their lengths remain constant. If α iron =1.2× 10 -5 /K and α iron =1.8× 10 -5 /K , what should
