Question

what are the three types of thermal
expansion

Answer 1

Answer:

There are three ways in which we categorise thermal expansion – Linear Expansion, Superficial Expansion and Cubical Expansion. These correspond to expansion in length, area and volume of a substance. ... These correspond to expansion in length, area and volume of a substance

Answer 2

The three types of thermal expansion are, linear expansion, superficial expansion and cubical expansion.

• Linear expansion :

When the length of an object is expanded due to the application of the heat,then that expansion is known as the linear expansion.

• Superficial expansion :

When the area of an object is expanded due to the application of the heat,then that expansion is known as the superficial expansion.

• Cubical expansion :

When the volume of an object is expanded due to the application of the head, then that expansion is known as the cubical expansion.
