A solid expands upon heating because- (A) the potential energy of interaction between atoms in the solid is asymmetric about the equilibrium positions of atoms. (B) the frequency of vibration of the atoms increases.(C) the heating generates a thermal gradient between opposite sides.(D) a fluid called the caloric flows into the interatomic spacing of the solid during heating thereby expanding it. |
