Solution :
Coefficient of Volume Expansion (αV)
[We have denoted it by γ in our class notes.]
ΔV = αVVΔT
ΔV/V = αVΔT
The graph can be interpreted by a complex logarithmic and exponential relation, which out of the scope of this class.
By the way, the graph is directly from the NCERT Chapter - 11 (Thermal Properties of Matter). You can check Physics Class 11 NCERT Part - 2, Page No 277 & Figure No. 11.6
