Question
Give scientific reason.
The telephone wires which sag in summer become straight in winter.
Give Reasons
Solution
- Telephone wires are made of copper metal. Due to high temperatures in summers, the metal in the telephone wires undergoes thermal expansion, which makes them expand and look loose.
- When the temperature drops in winters, the metal shrinks, which makes the wires stretch and look parallel. This is the result of thermal expansion and contraction of metals.
