Concept explainers
To Explain: The water level rises higher in tube B than in tube A.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Most of the materials expand on heating. The amount by which each material expands depends on their thermal coefficient of expansion.
The volume of water is same but the material of the two tubes is different, so the tubes expand to a different volume on being heated.
Conclusion:
Thus, the water level rises higher in tube B than in tube A due to different thermal coefficient of expansion of the materials of the tubes.
