Thermal Expansion and Specific Heat

This lecture covers the concepts of thermal expansion and specific heat. It explains how the dimensions of a material change with temperature, the coefficient of linear expansion, and the interesting applications of thermal expansion. Additionally, it discusses the specific heat capacity of materials and how it relates to changing temperature. The lecture also delves into phase changes, such as boiling and solidification, and the latent heat involved. Practical examples and calculations are provided to illustrate these concepts.
