Look at an ordinary thermometer. You will see the Mercury or achohol inside, and you will see regular degree markings along the thermometer. As the mercury or alchohol changes temperature, it expands and contracts.
Well, when the temperature increases the liguid expands:) yahhh im a smartie:P
The thermal expansion of a material is proportional to the temperature and the thermometer is calibrated.
Digital thermometers measure electrical resistance and Mercury thermometers measure thermal expansion.
Thermometers of any kind measure one thing: temperature.
Clinical thermometers are not used to measure the temperature of boiling water! They have a range of about 35oC to 43oC and they will explode at a temperature of about 100oC! Ordinary laboratory thermometers are used.
Thermometers measure temperature
The thermometers used to measure the temperature of things in Great Britain do so using the Celsius scale.
Such thermometers are based on the fact that the liquid expands when the temperature increases. That's what the thermometers measure.
Digital thermometers measure electrical resistance and Mercury thermometers measure thermal expansion.
Doctors use body temperature thermometers to measure body temperature.
Thermometers of any kind measure one thing: temperature.
Clinical thermometers are not used to measure the temperature of boiling water! They have a range of about 35oC to 43oC and they will explode at a temperature of about 100oC! Ordinary laboratory thermometers are used.
Cooled temperatures are still temperatures!. You can measure them using expansion thermometers down to around -15 deg Celsius. Below that you will probably need a thermocouple.
Instruments that measure temperature are thermometers.
There are several types of thermometers. Clinical thermometers are used to measure the body temperature of the patient. Ear Thermometers make it an accurate point to measure the body temperature. Pacifier thermometers are used to check the body temperature of babies or infants. Underarm thermometers are kept in the underarms to measure the body temperature. Not to mention the food thermometers that are often used for checking the heat of the oil or pop up to let you know when the meat is done.
Thermometers measure temperature
Digital ear thermometers measure the infrared radiation coming from an eardrum.
Thermometers are used to measure temperature.
They measure temperature. In America, Fahrenheit, and in other parts of the world they measure in Celsius.
