It depends greatly on range of displacement. Are you looking at Neptune or a molecule?
For the smaller realm using noncontact techniques:
For highest resolution, laser interferometers
They are large, difficult to use, and very expensive.
Capacitive sensors, such as those measure with nanometer resolution and micron or mm ranges. They require metallic target materials for easy/accurate measurement although nonconductors can also be sensed, but it is not usually for displacement.
Eddy-Current sensors, measure displacement with submicron resolution with larger ranges than capacitive. They work with conductive targets only and their sensing characteristics are dependent on material. Sometimes this fact is used to make material sorting sensors.
What else can I help you with?
What measures amount of displacement in a transverse wave?
the amplitude
What measures the amount of displacement in a longitudinal?
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
What do we call an instrument which measures heat and cold?
An instrument that measures heat and cold is called a thermometer.
Can displacement tell you the volume of the object?
No, displacement cannot directly tell you the volume of an object. Displacement measures the change in position of an object, while volume measures the amount of space an object occupies. However, displacement can indirectly help in calculating volume if combined with other measurements such as length, width, and height.
Is displacement always equal to distance?
No, displacement and distance are not always equal. Distance measures the total length traveled regardless of direction, while displacement measures the change in position from start to end point, including direction. Displacement can be less than, equal to, or greater than distance depending on the path taken.
What instrument measures volume displacement?
you would use fat Steve
What instrument measures the amount of water?
There are a lot of instruments used to measure water volume. There's also the displacement method to measure liquids.
What measures the amount of displacement in longitudinal wave?
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
What measures amount of displacement in a transverse wave?
the amplitude
What instrument is used to measures mass?
This instrument is a balance.
What measures the amount of displacement in a longitudinal?
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
What do we call an instrument which measures heat and cold?
An instrument that measures heat and cold is called a thermometer.
What instrument measured heat?
A calorimeter measures heat. In contrast, a thermometer measures temperature.A thermometer bolometer - an instrument that measures heat radiation; extremely sensitive calorimeter - a measuring instrument that determines quantities of heatHeat is measured with a ThermometerThermometerThermometer or calorimeterThermometerthermometerHeat is measured with a thermometer.
What Instrument measures A wind vane?
An anemometer is the instrument that measures wind direction using a wind vane.
What instrument measures molecular energy?
A thermometer measures molecular energy.
What do Geologists use to measure the tilting of the ground along a fault?
A tiltmeter is a highly-sensitive instrument used to measure ground tilt near a fault. An instrument called a creepmeter measures the slip by recording the displacement between 2 piers or monuments located on opposite sides of the fault.
