use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
Red and green light.
The color of light is related to its frequency or wavelength.
The object reflects all the incident light.

What is the color of light where the thermometer is located?
Orange is located there.
The cones, located in the retina, detect color.
A thermometer and light meter are the most useful when measuring two environmental changes.
Blue
temperature warning light
The color in a thermometer maybe...
The thermometer of most cars is located at the front of the engine compartment. This allows it to pull in air from the outside to more accurately measure temperature.
.... by measurement with an device designed for one particular property: balance for mass, thermometer for temperature, ruler for length, spectrophotometer for color, photometer for light, etc.
orange
The iris receives light and the cone cells located within the cornia determine color
Depending on the intensity of the light the thermometer should indicate an increase in temperature.
