What is a thermometer made out of?
a liquid thermometer is made with a glass "shell" and ussually have murcur inside them that dilates when it gets hotter and rises and contracts when its colder and lowers- this has been made by a 12 year old boy
why is it always the bulb of the thermometer that breaks?
The bulb of a thermometer is usually made of glass to allow for expansion and contraction of the liquid inside. When the thermometer is subject to sudden changes in temperature, the glass can crack or shatter due to thermal stress, causing the bulb to break.
Why is the bulb of thermometer made of thin glass?
The bulb thermometer is made of thin glass so as to detect the slightest change in temperature. It is made of thin glass for visibility as well.
Why does the glass stem in a clinical thermometer act as a magnifying glass?
The glass stem in a clinical thermometer acts as a magnifying glass because it is made of a transparent material that can refract and focus light. When you hold the stem over a scale, it magnifies the divisions on the scale, making it easier to read 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.
Is the external bulb of a thermometer also made of mercury?
No, the external bulb of a thermometer is typically made of glass to hold the mercury inside. Mercury is usually contained within the glass bulb to measure temperature accurately without exposing the user to the toxic substance.

Which device has a liquid in glass components?
thermometer
What are the materials used for a Galileo thermometer?
A Galileo thermometer is a thermometer made of a sealed glass cylinder containing a clear liquid and a series of objects whose densities are such that they rise or fall as the temperature changes.

What is the different between clinical thermometer and liquid in glass thermometer?
a lab thermometer did not have a constriction as compared to clinical thermometer. it have a wide range of measurement and usually contains alcohol

What is liquid-in-glass thermometer?
A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a type of thermometer that consists of a glass tube filled with a liquid, typically mercury or alcohol, which expands or contracts with changes in temperature. The level of the liquid in the tube corresponds to the temperature, allowing for temperature measurement.
Explain how an ordinary glass fever thermometer is designed?
An ordinary glass fever thermometer is typically made of a sealed glass tube filled with mercury or dyed alcohol. It has a calibrated scale along the length of the tube to measure temperature. When the thermometer is placed in contact with a warm object, the temperature causes the liquid inside to expand and rise up the scale, indicating the temperature value.
Who element used of the glass tube of clinical thermometer to measure thermometer?
mercury
