Why is Mercury in thermommeters?
mercury is a liquid metal that when heated can determine tempreture in thermometers
Which poisonous metal was once used in thermometers due to its properties of expansion In heat?
Mercury.
Why mercury is used in making thermometers?
It was used because it is a liquid that expands and contracts to a usable degree when heated or cooled.
What is the principle of Mercury?
Mercury thermometers are based on the fact that materials (in this case, the liquid mercury) expand when heated.Mercury thermometers are based on the fact that materials (in this case, the liquid mercury) expand when heated.Mercury thermometers are based on the fact that materials (in this case, the liquid mercury) expand when heated.Mercury thermometers are based on the fact that materials (in this case, the liquid mercury) expand when heated.
What different kinds of thermometers are there?
There are 34 different types of thermometer that range from alcohol thermometers and ear thermometers to medical thermometers and electrical resistance thermometers.
What where the first thermometers?
Mecury thermometers
What are 3 main different types of thermometers?
The three main types of thermometers are liquid-in-glass thermometers, digital thermometers, and infrared thermometers. Liquid-in-glass thermometers use a liquid like mercury or alcohol to measure temperature, digital thermometers provide a numeric temperature reading, and infrared thermometers measure temperature from a distance using infrared technology.
Is mercury present in all types thermometers?
No, mercury is not present in all types of thermometers. While mercury thermometers are common, other types such as digital thermometers and infrared thermometers do not contain mercury. Mercury thermometers are being phased out due to environmental concerns.
What instrument it used to measure temperature?
A thermometer is used to measure temperature. There are various types of thermometers such as digital thermometers, mercury thermometers, infrared thermometers, and thermocouples.
Different types of thermometers?
Celsius and Fahrenheit Thermometers Clinical Thermometers Ear (Tympanic) thermometers Pacifier Thermometers Underarm or Oral Thermometers Food Thermometers Outdoor Thermometers Mechanism of Different Types of Thermometers Mercury and Alcohol Thermometers Digital Thermometers Alcohol thermometer Beckmann differential thermometer Bi-metal mechanical thermometer Electrical resistance thermometer Galileo thermometer Infrared thermometer Liquid Crystal Thermometer Medical thermometer (e.g. oral thermometer, rectal thermometer, basal thermometer) Mercury-in-glass thermometer
What instrument is used to measure temperature of a body?
A thermometer is used to measure the temperature of a body. There are various types of thermometers, such as digital thermometers, infrared thermometers, and mercury thermometers.
Hoe does a thermometer work?
Different types of thermometers work differently, by measuring some property that changes with temperature. The model commonly used in households uses the fact that liquids expand when heated.
