What is the property of a thermometer measure?
A thermometer measures temperature, which is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance. Temperature can be measured in different scales such as Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin.
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 the relationship between a thermometer and specific heat?
The relationship between a thermometer and specific heat is that specific heat is a property of a substance that determines how much heat energy is needed to change its temperature. A thermometer measures the temperature of a substance, which can be influenced by its specific heat.
Is mass a thermometric property?
No, mass is not a thermometric property. Thermometric properties are characteristics that can be easily measured with a thermometer, such as temperature. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is not related to temperature.
Why does the mercury in the thermometer go up when the temperature is high?
In a mercury thermometer, the mercury expands when it is heated, causing it to rise in the thermometer's narrow tube. This increase in volume is a physical property of mercury known as thermal expansion. The height of the mercury column in the thermometer is then used to measure the temperature.

On which thermometric property is the constant-volume gas thermometer based?
It is based on the pressure of a fixed mass of gas.

How does a temomether work?
A thermometer works by measuring temperature through a physical property that changes with temperature, such as the expansion of a liquid (mercury or alcohol) or a metal coil. When the temperature changes, the property changes, leading to a corresponding movement of the indicator on the thermometer scale. This allows us to read and interpret the temperature accurately.
What are the types of thermometer?
Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
Measure how hot or cold something is?
