उत्तर
Let the original length of iron rod be LFe and L'Fe be its length when temperature is increased by ΔT.
Let the original length of aluminium rod be LAl and L'Al be its length when temperature is increased by ΔT.
Coefficient of linear expansion of iron,
\[\alpha_{Fe}\] = 12 × 10–6 °C
\[-\] 1
Coefficient of linear expansion of aluminium, αAl = 23 × 10–6 °C
\[-\] 1
Since the difference in length is independent of temperature, the difference is always constant.
\[L '_{Fe} = L_{Fe} \left( 1 + \alpha_{Fe} \times ∆ T \right)\]
\[and\] \[ L '_{Al} = L_{Al} \left( 1 + \alpha_{Al} \times ∆ T \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \begin{array}\[L '_{Fe} - L '_{Al} = L_{Fe} - L_{Al} + L_{Fe} \times \alpha_{Fe} ∆ T - L_{Al} \times \alpha_{Al} \times ∆ T & - (1)\end{array}\]
\[Given: \]
\[L '_{Fe} - L '_{Al} = L_{Fe} - L_{Al} \]
\[Hence, L_{Fe} \alpha_{Fe} = L_{Al} \alpha_{Al} [using (1)]\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{L_{Fe}}{L_{Al}} = \frac{23}{12}\]
The ratio of the lengths of the iron to the aluminium rod is 23:12.

We would like to prepare a scale whose length does not change with temperature. It is proposed to prepare a unit scale of this type whose length remains, say 10 cm. We can use a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length whose length (both components) would change in such a way that difference between their lengths remain constant. If αiron = 1.2 × 10−5/K and αbrass = 1.8 × 10−5/K, what should we take as length of each strip?
According to Stefan’s law of radiation, a black body radiates energy σT4 from its unit surface area every second where T is the surface temperature of the black body and σ = 5.67 × 10–8 W/m2K4 is known as Stefan’s constant. A nuclear weapon may be thought of as a ball of radius 0.5 m. When detonated, it reaches temperature of 106 K and can be treated as a black body.
