specific heat thermometer
A thermometer measures the temperature of a substance by detecting the average kinetic energy of its molecules.
Conduction is the main mode of heat transfer involved in using a thermometer. When the thermometer is placed in contact with a substance, heat transfers from the substance to the thermometer by conduction, causing the temperature to be measured.
There is no specific concept called "thermometer energy." A thermometer is used to measure temperature, which is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. The reading on a thermometer indicates the level of thermal energy present in the substance being measured.
The substance in the thermometer stem rises up because it expands when heated. This expansion is due to the particles within the substance moving more rapidly and spreading further apart, causing the substance to take up more volume and rise up the stem of the thermometer.
A thermometer is generally used to measure the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance. The temperature reading on the thermometer is a reflection of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in the substance.
You need to leave a thermometer in a substance for a period of time to ensure thermal equilibrium is reached, meaning the thermometer and the substance have the same temperature. If the thermometer is removed too quickly, it may not have had enough time to adjust to the temperature of the substance, leading to an inaccurate reading. Additionally, the thermometer's materials may take time to respond to changes in temperature, further necessitating this wait.
The base of a thermometer is called the bulb. It is typically a small, glass reservoir at the bottom of the thermometer where the liquid or mercury expands and contracts with changes in temperature.

A thermometer is related to temperature measurement. It is a device used to measure the temperature of a substance or an environment.
The thermometric substance of a thermoelectric thermometer is typically a semiconductor material that generates a voltage in response to temperature changes. This voltage can be measured and used to determine the temperature of the substance being measured.
