4. Two bars of copper having same length but an equal diameter are heated to the same temperature. The change in length will be:

5. As the temperature is increased, the time period of a pendulum

6. The earth intercepts approximately one billionth of the power radiated by the sun. if the surface temperature of the sun were to drop by a factor of 2, the average radiant energy incident on earth per second would reduce by factor of
