How do you calculate the sensitivity if the thermometer?
Sensitivity of a thermometer is calculated by dividing the change in temperature measured by the thermometer by the change in the actual temperature. This gives a measure of how accurately the thermometer can detect small changes in temperature.
How do you calculate the mercury rise in a thermometer?
To calculate the mercury rise in a thermometer, you need to subtract the initial temperature reading from the final temperature reading. The difference between these two readings represents the mercury rise in the thermometer. Make sure to use the units of measurement (usually degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit) in your calculation.
How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
How do you calculate the ambient temperature?
To calculate the ambient temperature, you can use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the surrounding air. This measurement will give you the ambient temperature, which is the temperature of the environment around you.
How many thermometers are in a sling psychrometer?
A sling psychrometer typically contains two thermometers: a dry bulb thermometer and a wet bulb thermometer. The dry bulb thermometer measures the air temperature, while the wet bulb thermometer measures the wet bulb temperature after being moistened with water. These readings are used to calculate the relative humidity of the air.
What are the types of thermometer?
Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
Origin of the word thermometer?
Thermometer
How can you measure a body temperature?
What kind of thermometer you use to measure the body temperature
A device used to display the temperature?

Explain how you would use a wet-bulb thermometer and a dry-bulb thermometer to find the relative humidity?
To find the relative humidity using a wet-bulb thermometer and a dry-bulb thermometer, first measure the air temperature with the dry-bulb thermometer. Then, moisten the wick of the wet-bulb thermometer and expose it to airflow while taking the temperature reading. The difference between the dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures can be used with a psychrometric chart or formula to calculate the relative humidity of the air. This process works because the wet-bulb thermometer cools down through evaporation, and the greater the difference between the two temperatures, the lower the relative humidity.
What is the plural of thermometer?
The plural of thermometer is thermometers.
Can you use the word thermometer in sentence?
The thermometer is broken.Put the thermometer under your tongue.
