What is Thermal Expansion?

Thermal expansion refers to the way in which any given substance (either gas, liquid, or solid) will undergo modifications of shape (either volume,

area, or length) as temperatures vary. Thermal expansion is caused by particles expanding or contracting within particular substances according to

different temperatures.

There are three forms of thermal expansion:

1. Linear thermal expansion

2. Areal thermal expansion

3. Volumetric thermal expansion

Linear Thermal Expansion

We can clearly see that an object's length is dependent on temperature. If we heat something up or cool it, the length changes in proportion to the

original length and the temperature change.

ΔL = α × L × ΔT
