Solution
Increase in length per unit of the length, per degree celsius rise in temperature is called coefficient of linear expansion.
α=△LLo△T
where △L is the amount of change in the length of the rod Lo is the initial length of rod, α is the coefficient of linear expansion and △T is the change in the temperature of the matter.
The SI unit of coefficient of linear expansion is K−1
