How does alcohol in a thermometer work?

Alcohol in a thermometer expands when heated and contracts when cooled. This change in volume causes the level of alcohol in the thermometer to rise or fall. By measuring the level of the alcohol, the temperature of the substance being measured can be determined.


How does a thermometer work to measure temperature accurately?

A thermometer works by using a substance, such as mercury or alcohol, that expands or contracts based on temperature changes. This substance moves up or down a calibrated scale to indicate the temperature. The accuracy of the measurement is determined by the precision of the scale and the sensitivity of the substance to temperature changes.


How does a thermometer measure temperature accurately?

A thermometer measures temperature accurately by using a substance that expands or contracts with changes in temperature, such as mercury or alcohol. As the substance expands or contracts, it moves along a scale to indicate the temperature. The thermometer is calibrated to ensure accurate readings.


What material is used for thermometer?

Thermometers can be made from various materials, but common ones include glass, mercury, alcohol, and digital sensors such as thermocouples and resistive temperature detectors. Glass thermometers often contain mercury or alcohol as the temperature-measuring substance. Digital thermometers use semiconductor materials for temperature sensing.


What is a variable in a thermometer?

In a thermometer, a variable is the temperature being measured. Thermometers detect changes in temperature by expanding or contracting a substance, such as mercury or alcohol, which then indicates the temperature on a scale.
