A deformation thermometer measures temperature by monitoring the deformation (expansion or contraction) of a material in response to changes in temperature. When the material is heated, it expands, and this expansion is measured to determine the temperature. Common materials used in deformation thermometers include metals like copper and bimetallic strips.

Explain how a deformation thermometer measures temperature?
IT measures it by the alcohol or mercury being touch by heat so the fluid rises.There is a chemical in the thermometer (the red liquid ) and it reacts to heat or coldness. cold makes it retract and the heat makes it expand * * * * * That is NOT a deformation thermometer but an expansion thermometer. A deformation thermometer has a bimetallic strip. This is a strip made by joining together two strips of metal with very different coefficients of thermal expansion. When heated, one of the metals expands much more than the other. But, because they are bonded together it is not permitted to expand freely and as a result the bimetallic strip is deformed. The amount of deformation is converted to a temperature scale for display.
How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
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.
What are two kinds of deformation?
Two kinds of deformation are plastic deformation, where the material changes shape permanently due to stress, and elastic deformation, where the material returns to its original shape after stress is removed.
Could a thermometer work at 115 degrees?
Most common thermometers can measure temperatures up to 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit, so a thermometer should be able to work at 115 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it's always best to check the specifications of the thermometer to ensure it can accurately measure temperatures at 115 degrees.

What is a dual probe thermometer?
this is a thermometer that can work twice as much as a normal thermometer or a thermometer that can check the temperature of two things at the same time
How does love thermometer work?
by heat
What Plastic deformation such that work hardening does not occur is called?
The plastic deformation process that prevents work hardening is called creep. Creep occurs under constant stress over an extended period, resulting in gradual deformation without significant increase in hardness.
Will a thermometer work in the horziontal position?
Yes, it will.
What kind of deformation leads to deformation?
elastic deformation
How does a thermometor work?
i don't know how a thermometer works
How a laboratory thermometer work?
It works when the thermometer gains heat from the surroundings. When the thermometer gains heat from the surroundings, gradually Mercury expands and it points the accurate measurement of temperature.

What thermometer would be used to collect data over a twenty four hour period of time?
You can use the recording thermometer or the mercury thermometer, either one of those will work.
