How do you calculate the sensitivity if the thermometer?

Sensitivity of a thermometer is calculated by dividing the change in temperature measured by the thermometer by the change in the actual temperature. This gives a measure of how accurately the thermometer can detect small changes in temperature.


What makes a liquid in glass thermometer sensitive to a small changes in temperature?

As the temperature rises or falls the liquid in the reservoir (bulb) of the thermometer rises or falls ) the liquid expands (heats up) or contacts (cools off). The volume change is made visible in the capillary (tube) in the part of the thermometer with the scale. This is the only part of the thermometer into which the extra volume and expand.Increasing the volume of fluid or decreasing the diameter of the capillary makes the changes more apparent/


How do you make thermometers sensitive?

You may increase the heat transfer rate to make it more sensitive to environment such as introducing air flow through thermometer in case of measuring air temperature. It can also design thermometer to be more sensitve with better heat sensitive material and thinner insulation wall. Introducing medium into contact surface (such as oil or water in thermowell) would speed up heat trasfer and make it more sensitive to temperature change.


How do you change a baby thermometer?

What is the function of the a thermometer?

Thermometer is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles.A thermometer has two important elements: the temperature sensor in which some physical change occurs with temperature, plus some means of converting this physical change into a numerical value.


How does temperature affect s thermometer?

Temperature affects a thermometer by causing the liquid or material inside to expand or contract, leading to a change in volume. This change in volume is measured by the scale on the thermometer, so as temperature increases or decreases, the level of the liquid or material inside the thermometer will rise or fall accordingly.


What is the function of a laboratory thermometer?

Thermometer is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles.A thermometer has two important elements: the temperature sensor in which some physical change occurs with temperature, plus some means of converting this physical change into a numerical value.


How does an electrical thermometer works?

An electrical thermometer works by measuring changes in electrical resistance as temperature changes. This change in resistance is then converted into a temperature reading. The resistance of the sensor in the thermometer varies with temperature, allowing for accurate temperature measurements.


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.


Is there any thermometer which changes its colour due to temperature change?

Yes,its called as "liquid crystal thermometer".


What is the principle of the gas thermometer?

The principle of a gas thermometer is based on the relationship between the volume of gas and its temperature. As the gas temperature increases, its volume expands proportionally. By measuring this volume change, the temperature of the gas inside the thermometer can be determined.


What is the change in temperature when the thermometer reading moves from -10 to 15?

The change in temperature is 25 degrees. This is calculated by subtracting the initial temperature (-10) from the final temperature (15).
