becomes double
Explanation:
Thermal conductivity of the material is given by
k = Q/t * L/A(T1-T2)
where
t - time
Q - Thermal energy
L - Length (Thickness)
A - Area
(T1-T2) - Temperature difference
From this formula, we can infer that thermal conductivity is directly proportional to the thickness of the material. Therefore, when the thickness doubles, the thermal conductivity becomes double.
