GeekIsLuv says: To find the temperature of a person, inanimate object, or room. There's a myriad of reasons to measure the temperature -- to find out if you're sick, to determine the comfortability of the room you're in, et cetera.Or it can be used to find how hot or cold something is..and to ensure cooking Temperatures
What else can I help you with?
What element is a silver liquid used in themometers?
Mercury. It isn't used much these days in thermometers these days as it is very toxic.
What instrument measures temperature outside?
A thermometer measures temperature, indoor or outdoor.
What is use of earth thermometer?
Earth thermometers are used to measure the temperature of the ground or soil at various depths. This information can be important for understanding soil health, agricultural practices, and environmental monitoring. Earth thermometers are particularly useful for studying the temperature profile of the ground over time.
5 different things that the temperature can be measured?
1. About Digital Thermometers 2. Appliance Thermometers 3. Bimetallic-Coil Thermometers 4. Calibrating the Thermometers 5. Cooking Temperatures
What mineral makes up a thermometer?
Mercury is the mineral that is traditionally used in thermometers because of its unique properties, such as its high thermal expansion and conductivity. However, due to its toxicity, digital thermometers now use safer alternatives like alcohol or digital sensors.
Does thermometers have infrared in it?
Some thermometers, known as infrared thermometers or non-contact thermometers, use infrared technology to measure temperature without making physical contact with the object being measured. Traditional thermometers that use mercury or a digital display do not use infrared technology.
When do you use a thermometers?
When you need them.
What is the difference between alcohol thermometers and digital thermometers?
Alcohol thermometers use a liquid such as ethanol to measure temperature based on the expansion of the liquid, while digital thermometers use electronic sensors to detect temperature changes and provide a numerical reading. Digital thermometers tend to be more accurate and easier to read than alcohol thermometers.
The thermometers doctors use to measure our body is called?
Doctors use body temperature thermometers to measure body temperature.
What laboratory equipment would you use for measuring temperature?
You would use a thermometer to measure temperature in a laboratory setting. There are different types of thermometers available, such as digital thermometers, mercury thermometers, and infrared thermometers, each suitable for different applications.
A use for the element mercury?
thermometers
Do doctors use ear thermometers?
no
What are 3 main different types of thermometers?
The three main types of thermometers are liquid-in-glass thermometers, digital thermometers, and infrared thermometers. Liquid-in-glass thermometers use a liquid like mercury or alcohol to measure temperature, digital thermometers provide a numeric temperature reading, and infrared thermometers measure temperature from a distance using infrared technology.
What do they use instead of mercury thermometer?
Digital thermometers, infrared thermometers, and alcohol or galinstan thermometers are commonly used as alternatives to mercury thermometers due to the environmental and health risks associated with mercury.
What is the liquid in a thermomether called?
Some thermometers use mercury, in these the liquid is silvery. Some thermometers use a red dyed alcohol solutioin.
What liquid is used in some thermometers?
Achohol, usually. Older thermometers use mercury, but that is too dangerous.
How do you accurately measure the temperature of a substance?
We ca use thermometers, thermocouples, resistance thermometers, pyrometers etc.
