Mercury the liquid inside thermometer is mercury.. but it is called thermometric liquid.
When the liquid in the thermometer gets warmer it expands.
what do they use for the liquid in glass ball thermometer
thermometer
As the liquid in the thermometer is heated it expands, and the only way the expanding liquid can go is upward. As the liquid in the thermometer cools, it will contract, and the liquid will fall back down into the resevoir, causing the column of liquid to move downward.
In a thermometer is a liquid metal called Mercury, so the liquid expands when it is heated up.
the liguid inside the thermometer is Mercury.
This depends on the thermometer model.
the temparature of the liquid must be read while the thermometer is in the liquid.since the level of mercury drops as soon as the thermometer is taken out of the liquid ,therefore no need of the kink in thermometer.
The liquid inside the thermometer "contracts" when it is placed into something cold. This means that it decreases in volume and increases in density. This is the reason that the thermometer can measure heat: the volume of the liquid inside the thermometer changes as a function of heat, and the amount of liquid in the "tube" of the thermometer changes as a function of volume. Because of this relationship, the level of the liquid in the tube of the thermometer changes as a function of heat.
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is often mercury. But there are thermometers that use a coloured alcohol.
The first thermometer was a tube filled with water and air.
