What does the sensitivity of thermometer depends on?
The difference between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the liquid in the thermometer bulb and the material of the bulb.
What is a glass bulb of a thermometer?
thermometer
What will happen if you hold a mercury thermometer from its bulb?
is it dangeorous to hold a thermometer from its bulb
Why is it advised not to hold the thermometer by its bulb while reading it?
The temperature of your hand affects the reading of the thermometer.
What is a thermometer base called?

If the difference between a wet bulb and a dry bulb thermometer is great is the humidity low?
No, the humidity is high when wet and dry bulb temps are far apart.
What is a glass bulb of a thermometer?

What is the difference between a temperature and a thermometer?
A temperature probe incorporates a thermocouple in its tip which gives a signal to a piece of electronic kit which translates the signal into a temperature figure. A thermometer is a direct reading instrument which usually incorporates a bulb containing Mercury or another fluid, or it may use a bimetallic strip which bends under temperature changes. A thermometer is good for ambient measurements but not suitable for putting into small spaces or pressure vessels for example. A probe is more versatile.
Would the temperature change on a thermometer if you hold it by the thermometer bulb?
Yes as your fingers are warmer than the air surrounding the thermometer bulb.
What is meant by the statement a thermometer measures its own temperature?
When a thermometer reaches thermal equilibrium, the temperature of the thermometer and the substance it is measuring are the same. Therefore, the thermometer is essentially measuring its own temperature.
Explain how you would use a wet bulb thermometer and a dry bulb thermometer to find the relative humidity?
the wet bulb is cooler
What does it mean when a dry bulb thermometer reads the same temperature as a wet bulb thermometer?
100% RH
What are two parts of psychrometer?
The two parts of a psychrometer is the dry-bulb thermometer and the wet-bulb thermometer.
Why is distilled water used on a wet bulb thermometer?
it is used in a bulb thermometer because the molocules a still
Which one is more sensitive in between two thermometer one having spherical bulb and another having cylindrical bulb?
cylindrical bulb is more sensitive than the spherical bulb.
