As the temperature rises, the time period of a pendulum
As the temperature rises, the time period of a pendulum
Options
- Aincreases proportionately with temperature
- Bincreases
- Cremains constant
- Ddecreases
Correct answer
B. increases
Step-by-step solution
The time period of a simple pendulum is given by
As the temperature increases, the length of the pendulum increases due to linear thermal expansion, given by
Since , an increase in the length of the pendulum leads to an increase in its time period.
Thus, the time period of the pendulum increases.
