A crystal has a coefficient of expansion 13 10⁻⁷ in one direction and 231 10⁻⁷ in every direction at right angles to it. Then the cubical coefficient of expansion is
Options
- A462 10⁻⁷
- B244 10⁻⁷
- C475 10⁻⁷
- D257 10⁻⁷
Correct answer
C. 475 10⁻⁷
Step-by-step solution
aligned &= ₁+ ₂+ ₃ &=13 10⁻⁷+231 10⁻⁷+231 10⁻⁷ &=475 10⁻⁷ aligned
