what is relation between alpha,beta,and gamma ?

							beta=2alpha .  gamma=3alpha .  alpha:beta:gamma=1:2:3
						

							The relation between superficial thermal expansion coefficient ß and expansion coefficient is given by  
ß = 2a
The relation between bulk thermal expansion coefficient ? and linear expansion coefficient a is given by  
? = 3a
So,
a:ß:? = 1:2:3
						

							
What is the realtion between alpha,beta and gamma?
 
Beta = 2 Alpha
      and
Gamma = 3 Alpha.
so, in case of Beta we can write Alpha = Beta/2 and in case of Gamma we can write Alpha = Gamma/3.
