What is the principle used in constructing a liquid thermometer?
The principle is volumetric expansion of a fluid
How does a thermometer use thermal expansion?
By when u look at an ordinary thermometer and u will see it goes on a regular degree
What does the sensitivity of thermometer depends on?
The difference between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the liquid in the thermometer bulb and the material of the bulb.
One common application of thermal expansion is?
Thermal expansion has been used to create many different devices including the fire sprinkler. Fire sprinklers have a bimetallic strip which will bend to one side when heated to connect to electricity and trigger the sprinkler.Ê
What is an example of thermal expansion that you have observed in your daily life?
an example would be a thermometer. A thermometer because it has mercury in it. When you check a patients temperature with a thermometer ,the heat from the patients body will cause the expansion of the mercury and the mercury flows in the tube. It stops at a point and that point indicates the temperature in the patients body.

What makes a thermometer?
what are the sulfide mineral used to a thermometer
Which poisonous metal was once used in thermometer due to its properties of expansion in heat?
Mercury.
What is mercury used for in a thermometer?
The thermal expansion of mercury is proportional and linear to temperature.
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)
Why does the height of the liquid of a thermometer increaseswhen the temperature goes up?
Thermal expansion of the fluid inside the thermometer.
What is the mode of operation of mercury in glass thermometer?
"thermal expansion"
Which device is based on the expansion of matter as temperature increases?
Thermometer is based on the expansion of matter as temperature increases.
Do you agree that expansion and contraction only cause problems?
No, we use expansion and contraction to tell temperature(thermometer).
