Matter generally expands as it warms, and contracts as it cools. In liquid thermometers, as the liquid heats and expands, it is directed up a tube with markings to show the exact amount of expansion. In Bi-metal thermometers, there is a strip of two different metals pressed together. These metals expand and contract at different rates. As a result, the strip will coil and uncoil with the rise and fall of the temperature. A needle attached to this coil can show the temperature.

What is scaling of temperature?
The thermometer scales the temperature.
What is a device which provides a continuous record of the temperature?
thermometer
How does a USB thermometer work?
A USB thermometer works in much the same way any digital thermometer works by measuring the temperature of the individual via contact with their skin or mouth. The USB thermometer is then able to be plugged into a computer via the USB to record and chart the findings.
What is the name of the scientist who discovered Celsius thermometer?
Anders Celsius.
What is pyrometer's function?
A pyrometer is a therrmometer for measuring very high temperatures. It usually uses non-contact infra-red sensing. If you need to measure the temperature of liquid iron, you can't just stick a regular thermometer in it, it will melt, but the wavelength of the emitted infra-red light can be measured.
What detector can detect temperature?
thermometer
What does a thermometer detect?
Heat
How can you measure a body temperature?
What kind of thermometer you use to measure the body temperature
Who made the first water thermometer?
Galileo Galilei invented the first water thermometer. He created it by adding droplets of alcohol in the water. This is so the liquid is less denser and can detect changes in temperature.
What measures a temperature?
A temperature probe is a digital thermometer.
What is a fever thermometer?
a fever thermometer, is a thermometer that you can use to check your body temperature.
Ho does a thermometer measure temperature?
A thermometer measures temperature by using the liquid inside of the thermometer. It measures temperature by Celsius and Fahrenheit.
What do thermometers actually detect about the moving particles that make up a sample of matter?
Thermometers detect the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter. As the temperature increases, the particles move faster and have higher kinetic energy. This increase in kinetic energy is then measured by the thermometer, allowing us to determine the temperature of the sample.
Which thermometer would you use to measure the temperature of the body temperature of a patient?
Clinical thermometer
A device used to display the temperature?
a thermometer thermometer a thermometer
How does an ear thermometer measure the temperature?
An ear thermometer should be placed carefully in an ear to measure the temperature. The temperature is then taken by an infrared mechanism in the thermometer.
How do you measure temp of room without a thermometer I only have a digital oral thermometer?
It is not possible to measure the room temperature with a thermometer. A digital oral thermometer will not work to measure the room temperature. It is meant to measure human temperature, not room temperature. You will need a room thermometer to measure the room temperature.
