Thermal expansion refers to the tendency of matter to change its shape, area, and volume in response to a change in temperature. This is a result of the fact that the particles in a substance vibrate more rapidly as the temperature increases, leading to an increase in the average distance between the particles. Different materials have different coefficients of expansion, and these coefficients can be experimentally determined for various substances. It's essential to consider thermal expansion in applications where dimensional changes due to temperature fluctuations may impact the performance of a system or structure.
