उत्तर
(a) A and B are correct.
The coefficient of linear expansion,
`∝ =1/L (ΔL)/(ΔT)`
=`|L|/|LT| =K^-1`
Here, L = initial length
ΔL = change in length
ΔT = change in temperature
On the other hand, the coefficient of volume expansion,
γ = `1/V (ΔV)/(ΔT) = |L^3|/|L^3T| = K^-1`
Here, V = initial volume
Δ V = change in volume
ΔT = change in temperature
K = kelvin, the S.I. unit of temperature

Two ideal gas thermometers Aand Buse oxygen and hydrogen respectively. The following observations are made:

| Normal melting point of sulphur | 1.797 × 105 Pa | 0.287 × 105 Pa |
(a) What is the absolute temperature of the normal melting point of sulphur as read by thermometers Aand B?
(b) What do you think is the reason behind the slight difference in answers of thermometers Aand B? (The thermometers are not faulty). What further procedure is needed in the experiment to reduce the discrepancy between the two readings?
In defining the ideal gas temperature scale, it is assumed that the pressure of the gas at constant volume is proportional to the temperature T. How can we verify whether this is true or not?
