The constriction in a thermometer is a narrow region in the capillary tube where the liquid (like Mercury or alcohol) is forced to flow through. This helps to amplify the rise or fall in temperature, making it easier to read.

Why there is no constriction in laboratory thermometer?

There is no constriction in laboratory thermometers because they are designed to have a uniform bore diameter along their entire length. This ensures that the thermometer has consistent and accurate readings across the entire scale without any potential variations caused by constrictions.


How do you tell how hot or cold something is?

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.
