Using materials with a higher coefficient of thermal expansion, such as certain metals like nickel, will provide greater sensitivity in a thermometer. These materials will change their dimensions more in response to temperature variations, resulting in a more noticeable change in the reading of the thermometer.

What is the sensitivity of an instrument?
The sensitivity of an instrument is the smallest amount it can measure, of whatever it's built to measure.Anything smaller than the sensitivity of the instrument, and the instrument doesn't even notice it.For example, a laboratory scale can measure the weight of a hair, but a truck scale can't. We say that thelaboratory scale's sensitivity is much smaller (or lower) than the truck scale's sensitivity.
Which thermometer would you use to measure the temperature of the body temperature of a patient?
A digital thermometer would be most suitable for measuring the body temperature of a patient. It provides an accurate reading quickly and is safe and easy to use.
What material would allow the thermometer to measure the largest range of temperature?
A thermocouple would allow the thermometer to measure the largest range of temperature, as it can measure from extremely low temperatures to very high temperatures. Thermocouples are made of two different metals that generate a voltage proportional to the temperature difference between the hot and cold junctions.
What type of the thermometer would use to measure the temperature of ice?
You can use a digital or analog thermometer to measure the temperature of ice, but it's best to use a thermometer that can measure low temperatures accurately. A thermometer that measures from -50°C to 50°C would be suitable for measuring the temperature of ice.
What would you measure using a thermometer?
A thermometer is used to measure temperature. It can be used to check the temperature of objects, substances, or environments.
You would want the highest sensitivity you can get.?
You would want the highest sensitivity you can get.
Is the thermometer reading the temperature of the vacuum at the Moon's surface?
No. The thermometer measures the temperature of mass or material. Concerning the moon, a thermometer could measure the temperature of dust or rock on the surface. If it were not in contact with the surface, and the sun shone on it, the thermometer would read the temperature to which the sun heated it. If it were shielded from the sun, then the thermometer would read the temperature of space ... about 3 K, or darn near absolute zero.
Do some HDTVs have greater sensitivity than others?
Picture quality would a better way to state it. The best sets are the 1080i and 1080p type.
High sensitivity would work better?
High sensitivity would work better

How would you determine the melting of a substance whose melting point is higher than 100c?
Use a thermometer that can measure greater than 100 oC.
What oes thermometer mesure?
you would measure heat with a thermometer
If you want to get the temperature of the water what instrument will you use?
I would use a thermometer.
What is the name of an instrument which measures heat and cold?
That would be a thermometer.
How did the thermometer make life better?
yes, indeed thermometer makes life better. if there was no thermometer people would not know about the temperature varying in their body and if they had fever they would not be able to know and cure it. hen of course it would lead to deaths.therefore without thermometer there would have been thousands of deaths. there are different types of thermometer not only for body temperature but also for the surroundings.
Why are their different types of therometers for measuring temperatures?
Different types of thermometer have to be used in different circumstances, for example the thermometer you stick in your mouth when you're ill would be of no use in a steam boiler or even in your oven as it would break. Mercury expands and contracts more than alcohol so it can show a greater range of temperatures.
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.
