When the temperature increases the particles of the liquid inside a thermometer begin to move faster and what else?

When the temperature increases, the particles of the liquid inside a thermometer also expand due to thermal expansion, causing the liquid to rise in the narrow tube of the thermometer. This increase in volume of the liquid is what is typically measured as an increase in temperature on the thermometer scale.


Can you use Candy thermometer in place of a meat thermometer?

No, because candy and meat thermometers are not capable of measuring ambient temperature, they must have contact with the object whose temperature it is gauging You can purchase an oven thermometer relatively cheaply at many discount retailers or cooking specialty stores.


How does clinical thermometer work?

A clinical thermometer works by measuring body temperature through the expansion or contraction of a temperature-sensitive liquid, such as mercury or alcohol, inside a sealed glass tube. As body temperature rises, the liquid in the thermometer expands and moves up the tube, indicating the temperature. Conversely, when body temperature decreases, the liquid contracts and moves down the tube.
