How do liquid-filled thermometers measure temperature based on thermal expansion?
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.
Which thermometer would you use to measure the temperature of the body temperature of a patient?
Clinical thermometer
How do you measure temperature of a human?
Thermometer is used to measure temperature of human
Ho does a thermometer measure temperature?
A thermometer measures temperature by using the liquid inside of the thermometer. It measures temperature by Celsius and Fahrenheit.
How do we measure temperature?
I guess, Thermometer.

How do you measure environmental temperature using a liquid in glass thermometer?
through thermal expansion
What material are needed to measure temperature of the soda in the containers?
Uhhh... A thermometer...
How can you measure a body temperature?
What kind of thermometer you use to measure the body temperature
What does a thermometer measure and how does it do it?
A thermometer is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles. The word temperature comes from the Greek work thermo which is heat and meter to measure.
Describe how a thermometer uses the thermal expansion of a material to measure temperature?
A thermometer is a device that is used to gauge temperature. Mercury style thermometers used the elemental liquid in a tube of measured diameter and height. The higher the temperature, the higher the observed mercury level is. Thus, the height of the mercury uses marking to indicate which air temperature corresponds to the given height of its liquid expansion.
What is used to measure temperature?
Temperature is usually measured via expansion/contraction of a liquid (liquid thermometer), differences in expansion/contraction of two metals (bi-metallic strip thermometer), changes in electrical resistance (thermistor or thermocouple) or radiant energy (for example: a pyrometer)
How do you measure temp of room without a thermometer I only have a digital oral thermometer?
It is not possible to measure the room temperature with a thermometer. A digital oral thermometer will not work to measure the room temperature. It is meant to measure human temperature, not room temperature. You will need a room thermometer to measure the room temperature.
How does a thermometer help when comparing the energies of particles?
A thermometer measures the amount of thermal energy a material has. This thermal energy is related to the vibrational and rotational energy the particles in the material have. By using the thermometer to measure the temperature of a material you are, in effect, measuring the amount of energy the particles of that material have.
How a thermometer is used?
A thermometer is used to measure air temperature, or the temperature within a solid or liquid.
How does an ear thermometer measure the temperature?
An ear thermometer should be placed carefully in an ear to measure the temperature. The temperature is then taken by an infrared mechanism in the thermometer.
Function of thermometer?
The function of a thermometer is to measure temperature.
