Grade upto college level Thermal Physics
What are dimensions of α, the coefficient of linear expansion? Does the value of ∝ depend on the unit of length used? When Fahrenheit degrees are used instead of Celsius degrees as the unit of temperature change, does the numerical value of ∝ change? If so, how? If not, prove it.
