An inferred thermometer is a device that measures temperature from a distance using the principle of thermal radiation. It works by detecting infrared energy emitted by an object and converting it into temperature readings. These thermometers are widely used in various industries and applications where direct contact temperature measurement is not feasible.

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.

What is a glass bulb of a thermometer?

A glass bulb of a thermometer is the part at the bottom of the thermometer that contains mercury or colored alcohol that expands and contracts with temperature changes. This expansion and contraction of the liquid is what causes the thermometer to measure and display the temperature.


What instrument measures how hot or cold something is?

A thermometer is the instrument used to measure how hot or cold something is. It typically consists of a small tube filled with a liquid (such as mercury or alcohol) that expands or contracts based on the temperature, indicating a numerical value on a scale.
