How do you increase sensitivity of mercury in glass thermometer?
Sensitivity of a thermometer is the length of increase of the liquid per degree rise in temperature. More sensitive means more noticeable expansion. So if you want to increase the sensitivity, you could have a thinner capillary tube, a larger thermometer bulb etc. :)sailesh
