Solution

The correct option is D

1×10-3


Step 1: Given information

Coefficient of linear expansion, α=2×10-6perdegreeC

Change in temperature, ΔT=10°C

Step 2: Calculation

We know,

The fractional increment in time with temperature change:

tt=12αT

By substituting the values, we get

=12×2×10-6×10=10-5

The percentage change of period be:

%tt=tt×100=10-5×100=10-3=1×10-3

Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
