Question

The coefficient of expansion of mercury is less than that of glass

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. For the same amount of change in temperature, mercury expands more than glass, allowing us to compute the temperature.
2. As a result, mercury has a higher coefficient of expansion than glass.
3. This is why mercury is used in thermometers.

Hence the given statement is false
