We have a hollow sphere and a solid sphere of equal radii and of the same material. They are heated to raise their temperature by equal amounts. How will the change in their volumes, due to volume expansions, be related? Consider two cases
(i) hollow sphere is filled with air,
(ii) there is vacuum inside the hollow sphere.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(i) hollow sphere > solid sphere
(ii) hollow sphere = solid sphere
When hollow sphere is filled air, expansion will be due to pressure of the gas also.
