As the temperature rises, the time period of a pendulum

As the temperature rises, the time period of a pendulum

Options

  1. Aincreases proportionately with temperature
  2. Bincreases
  3. Cremains constant
  4. Ddecreases

Correct answer

B. increases

Step-by-step solution

The time period of a simple pendulum is given by T=2πlgT = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}

As the temperature increases, the length ll of the pendulum increases due to linear thermal expansion, given by l′=l(1+αΔθ)l' = l(1 + \alpha \Delta \theta)

Since T∝lT \propto \sqrt{l}, an increase in the length of the pendulum leads to an increase in its time period.

Thus, the time period of the pendulum increases.
