They're thermometers..... So.... They do the exact same things as normal thermometers, except the temperature comes out on a small, digital screen. -.-
no,digital thermometers don't have mercury whereas clinical thermometers have mercury.
Digital thermometers measure electrical resistance and Mercury thermometers measure thermal expansion.
Digital thermometers have replaced mercury thermometers because mercury is toxic. [Personal commentary: digital thermometers are not accurate and mercury thermometers are so how many people are being harmed by not knowing their temperature versus how many would be harmed by the mercury if accurate thermometers were still used?]
In market there is availability of two types of Thermometers [1] Glass and [2] Digital. Digital Thermometers are LCD Thermometers. The thermometer measures the body temperature in shows digitally in numbers and alphabets.
No. A digital thermometer works on a bi-metal usually
Mercury thermometers are rarely used, except in lab thermometers. For human use, they have been replaced by dyed alcohol glass thermometers, or electronic digital thermometers.
flying monkeys
it is used in thermometers(sorry if i spelled thermometers wrong)
No they are analog divices
You can read the temp a lot easier.

Not all pool thermometers have mercury in them. Some types do, but those that use digital or laser technology most likely do not.
