What is the effect for thermometer?
To measure heat temperature. (thermo- meaning heat; -meter meaning measure)
A student claims that the thermometers are useless because a thermometer always registers its own temperature. how would you respond?
It is true that thermometers always registers its own temperature.When thermometers are in contact with a respective body heat is exchanged between the thermometer and the body.After some time they are in equilibrium state.As both of their temperature are now the same, temperature of thermometer is registered equal to that of the body as a result.
What does temperature indicate?
The hotness or coolness of a body in regards to its sensible heat and is measured by a thermometer.
What is a thermometer used for?
The use of a thermometer is to measure hot and cold in Fahrenheit and in Celsius. To measure body temperature, air temperature, atmosphere temperature. It is a scientific instrument to record temperature. It's used to measure temperature of various things. For examples- the human body , weather, liquids etc The word "thermometer" literally means to "measure heat". As such, variations of the device are used to measure the heat of numerous items, including, but not limited to, the body heat of a human or animal, or to ensure proper cooking temperatures, or to trigger a device, such as via an automobile radiator's thermostat, or even to measure the temperature of distant stars.

To take temperature of our body
What is the thermometer most commonly used for?
measuring heat..."thermo" as in "thermal" means heat, and a meter is a measuring device...so a thermo-meter or a thermometer is a device that measures heat.
What thermometer measures -specific heat of a substance -absolute temperature of substance -heat intensity?
specific heat thermometer
Why was the thermometer given its name?
thermo- prefix = temperature/heat -meter suffix = measure thermometer = measure temperature
How a laboratory thermometer work?
It works when the thermometer gains heat from the surroundings. When the thermometer gains heat from the surroundings, gradually Mercury expands and it points the accurate measurement of temperature.
What is thermometer and how is used?
A thermometer is an instrument used to measure temperate. They can be used for outdoor purposes or to see if someone is running a fever. They are found virtually anywhere where temperature needs to be recorded.
Does a thermometer bulb have large heat capacity or small heat capacity?
A thermometer bulb should have.small heat capacity. In case if it has large capacity, the temperature of the substance will get lowered due to the large amount of heat absorbed by the thermometer bulb
What is the prefix of temperature?
thermo- (heat), for example, thermometer, thermostat, etc.

What measures body's heat?
The body temperature is measured by a thermometer, the instrument to measure heat contents of objects is called a calorimeter. Don't confuse heat with 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 does pressure have to do with temperature?
No any specific scientist knows this answer. ~StormLightning
What happens to the temperature of a substance that is an endothermic reaction?
It will decrease as heat is removed from the environment and added to the products of the reaction.
