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.
Why is it More difficult to measure the temperature of a solid than a liquid?
You can insert a thermometer directly into a liquid, but not into a solid. You can fairly easily measure the surface temperature of a solid object, but that does not necessarily reflect the temperature inside.
A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to drop?
Water Temperaure cools
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.
Why the level of mercury should change at all when the bulb of the thermometer is brought in contact with another object?
a liquid changes its volume relative to its temperature
What measures the temperature of the liquid?
A thermometer will measure the temperature of a liquid.
How a thermometer is used?
A thermometer is used to measure air temperature, or the temperature within a solid or liquid.
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.
What features a liquid thermometer and a lab thermometer have in common?
they both measure temperature
What features do a liquid thermometer and a lab thermometer have in common?
they both measure 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.
What features do a liquid thermometer and a lab have in common?
they both measure temperature
How does the thermometer used to measure air temperature differ from the thermometer used to take your temperature?
A thermometer used to measure air temperature uses a glass tube filled with a liquid either alcohol or mercury. When the temperature increases the particles of liquid expand, filling the glass tub. Thermometers that are used to measure you body temperature uses infrared sensors.
What features do a lab thermometer and a liquid thermometer have in common?
they both measure temperature
Is there any thermometer which changes its colour due to temperature change?
Yes,its called as "liquid crystal thermometer".
How do you measure environmental temperature using a liquid in glass thermometer?
through thermal expansion
What apparatus used to measure temperature?
We can use thermometers, thermocouples, thermoresistances, pyrometers etc.
