What is coldest temperature on the scale of a thermometer?
-2degres celcious on a meat thermometer
What makes a liquid in glass thermometer sensitive to a small changes in temperature?
A liquid in glass thermometer is sensitive to small changes in temperature due to the thermal expansion of the liquid contained inside the glass tube. As the temperature increases, the liquid expands, causing it to rise up the calibrated scale of the thermometer. Conversely, as the temperature decreases, the liquid contracts, causing it to subside on the scale. This expansion and contraction of the liquid is highly responsive to even slight temperature variations, making it sensitive to small changes in temperature.
Who developed the first thermometer?
Galileo developed the thermoscope, the first instrument to measure temperature qualitatively. It was Sanctorius Sanctorius who devised and added the scale to the thermoscope to measure the temperature quantitatively and since then has been called the thermometer.
When was the first thermometer invented?
In 1612 the inventor Santorio Santorio became the first to put a scale on his thermometer. It was perhaps the first crude clinical thermometer as it was designed to be placed in a patients mouth for temperature taking
Why does the kelvin thermometer start from -273 Celsius temperature?
The idea is to start at absolute zero - the lowest possible temperature. This happens to be -273.16 on the Centigrade (Celsius) scale. The Kelvin scale has no negative temperatures; zero degrees Kelvin is the lowest possible temperature.

What Thermometer measure temperature with scale?
celsius
What temperature scale do scientist use to measure daily temperature?
Thermometer
What are the numbers on a thermometer called?
Temperature is shown in thermometer is shown on a scale. So, we can call the numbers as simply: scale-readings.
What is the purpose of a mercury thermometer?
to see what is the temperature The Mercury expands or contracts depending on the temperature so its height against the scale on the thermometer tells you the temperature.
What is the purpose of Mercury in a Thermometer?
to see what is the temperature The mercury expands or contracts depending on the temperature so its height against the scale on the thermometer tells you the temperature.
List four types of temperature scales?
celsius scale fahrenheit scale ranking scale kelvin thermometer scale
What is the temperature scale used on most laboratory thermometers?
Temperature scale used on most laboratory thermometers is a thermometer.
What a properties of wall thermometer?
It shows temperature on a large, easily read, scale.
Is mercury used in food thermometer?
In a mercury thermometer, a glass tube is filled with mercury and a standard temperature scale is marked on the tube. With changes in temperature, the mercury expands and contracts, and the temperature can be read from the scale. Mercury thermometers can be used to determine body, liquid, and vapor temperature.
What is the purpose of a dual scale thermometer?
Some people want to measure temperature in deg C while others prefer deg F. A dual scale thermometer will allow people to do what they prefer, but using only one thermometer.
What is Fahrenheit known for?
He is best known for inventing the alcohol thermometer (1709), the Mercury thermometer (1714), and then developing a temperature scale now named after him.
