murcury was in the old thermoters and the were made of glass and metal.
Early thermometers were likely less accurate compared to modern thermometers because they were made using less precise technology and materials. They may have had limitations in their calibration methods and the consistency of their measurements. Additionally, environmental factors could have affected their accuracy.
it would be really hot
There are a few main types of thermometers in health: tympanic - goes into your ear oral/sublingual - mouth recual - inserted into the anus auxillar - under the arm laser / tape - across the forehead. these are all used to measure a persons tempersture
There are several types of thermometers. Clinical thermometers are used to measure the body temperature of the patient. Ear Thermometers make it an accurate point to measure the body temperature. Pacifier thermometers are used to check the body temperature of babies or infants. Underarm thermometers are kept in the underarms to measure the body temperature. Not to mention the food thermometers that are often used for checking the heat of the oil or pop up to let you know when the meat is done.
There are no convenient alternatives to using a thermometer to measure body temperature.
Charles Winger invented them.
Yes, mercury is an element that is commonly found in old thermometers. It is a liquid metal at room temperature and is known for its characteristic silvery appearance and high toxicity. Mercury has a variety of industrial and commercial applications, including its use in thermometers.
Modern thermometers are typically made of materials such as glass, plastic, or metal. The most common type of modern thermometer is the digital thermometer, which includes a temperature sensor and a digital display screen. Other types of modern thermometers may contain mercury or alcohol as the temperature-sensitive material.
They are made out of glass which is a metastable solid.
Mercury was used in old thermometers because mercury expands when it reaches a certain temperature, so it was a really good "gauge". Now, they stopped making thermometers with mercury as the liquid since it was very poisonous. i hope you liked the answer!
Old fashioned thermometers and in tuna.
Mercury would be the dangerous liquid used in thermometers. Many modern thermometers are made without mercury for safety reasons, but if a thermometer breaks and you're not sure, it's better to be careful with the cleanup.
There are 34 different types of thermometer that range from alcohol thermometers and ear thermometers to medical thermometers and electrical resistance thermometers.
Modern thermometers are made of alcohol or Mercury, and uses the Fahrenheit scale and the Celsius scale.
it is made up of mercury the stuff that used to be in thermometers
Termometers made specifically for measuring the interior temperature of meat
Clinical thermometers. They can be (and usually made) by glass hollow rods with mercury inside). So I would say 'no diiference' considering the fact that: A clinical thermometer made with glass and mercury inside. Now - a - days other types of thermometers are used (to avoid mercury). Some contains alcohol (for glass type), some are made up like robbons with censors implanted.
