What was the first liquid used in a thermometer?
The first thermometer was a tube filled with water and air.
Is the external bulb of a thermometer also made of mercury?
The red liquid in a thermometer is Mercury, which is usually encased in a glass tube
Who invented the first closed tube thermometer?
Galileo
Define vapor pressure thermometer?
A thermometer which utilizes a gas(vapor) to react to temperature changes for an accurate reading. (Instead of a hazardous material such as a mercury filled thermometer.)
How does an air thermometer work?
An air thermometer has a bubble of liquid inside the tube and when the air inside of the tube heats up or cools down, the air takes up either more or less space inside of the tube, causing the bubble of liquid to either move upwards or downwards, indicating the temperature.
What was the first liquid used in a thermometer?
The first thermometer was a tube filled with water and air.
What is the working and construction of thermometer?
WORKING: Place the bulb of the thermometer filled with mercury in a vessel ov small pieces of ice the mercury will arise in the tube and will come to rest at a certain point.this point shows the melting point of ice. CONSTRUCTION:A thermometer consists of a glass bulb filled with mercury.A cappilary tube arises from this bulb.Due to the narrow bore of the tube a small change in the volume of the mercury becomes significiantly visible.
Is the external bulb of a thermometer also made of mercury?
The red liquid in a thermometer is Mercury, which is usually encased in a glass tube
Is mercury used in food thermometer?
In a mercury thermometer, a glass tube is filled with mercury and a standard temperature scale is marked on the tube. With changes in temperature, the mercury expands and contracts, and the temperature can be read from the scale. Mercury thermometers can be used to determine body, liquid, and vapor temperature.
Is a thin glass tube with a bulb on the end that contains a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
Thermometer
Who invented the Mercury thermameter?
A mercury-in-glass thermometer, invented by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, is a thermometer consisting of mercury in a glass tube. Calibrated marks on the tube allow the temperature to be read by the length of the mercury within the tube, which varies according to the heat given to it. To increase the sensitivity, there is usually a bulb of mercury at the end of the thermometer which contains most of the mercury; expansion and contraction of this volume of mercury is then amplified in the much narrower bore of the tube. The space above the mercury may be filled with nitrogen or it may be less than atmospheric pressure, which is normally known as a vacuum.
How does the thermometor work in a mirror?
Thermometer usually works with a lead pressure tube. Latest sensors have taken its place.
What is in a thin glass tube with a bulb on the end that contains a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
It is a glass thermometer.
What is a thin glass tube with a bulb on the end that contains a liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
It is a glass thermometer.
What is a thin glass tube with a bulb on on end that contains liquid usually mercury?
It is a thermometer, and is used to show the temperature.
A is a thin glass tube with a bulb on the one end that contains liquid usually mercury or colored alcohol?
Thermometer
Why does a thermometer rise up when its hot?
Usually when a thing gets hot, it expands. The liquid in the thermometer gets hot, and expands, so it takes up more room in the tube.
