Color is determined by the amount of radiation an object absorbs/reflects. Black absorbs all colors of light, meaning it absorbs the most radiation, increasing heat.

Is a rectal thermometer reading of 101 degrees equal to an oral thermometer reading of 101degrees?

No, a rectal thermometer reading is typically about 0.5 to 1 degree Fahrenheit higher than an oral thermometer reading. So a rectal thermometer reading of 101 degrees would roughly correspond to an oral thermometer reading of 100-100.5 degrees. It's important to use the same type of thermometer for consistent readings.


How much temperature has to raise to get a reading?

Temperature readings are typically measured on a scale, such as Celsius or Fahrenheit. To get a higher reading on a thermometer, the temperature must increase on that scale. For example, if you have a thermometer in Celsius and the current reading is 20°C, the temperature would need to increase to above 20°C to see a higher reading.


How would a temperature reading would be different if the thermometer were over unshaded asphalt?

What material would give a thermometer greater sensitivity?

Using materials with a higher coefficient of thermal expansion, such as certain metals like nickel, will provide greater sensitivity in a thermometer. These materials will change their dimensions more in response to temperature variations, resulting in a more noticeable change in the reading of the thermometer.


What are examples of empire?

An example of empirical evidence would be, reading a thermometer. No matter who observes it the thermometer still displays the same temperture.


Which thermometer would you use to measure the temperature of the body temperature of a patient?

A digital thermometer would be most suitable for measuring the body temperature of a patient. It provides an accurate reading quickly and is safe and easy to use.

What tool would you use to measure the room temperature?

You can use a thermometer to measure room temperature accurately. Place the thermometer in the room for a few minutes to ensure an accurate reading.


Why do they measure temperature in the shade?

Direct sunlight would heat the thermometer higher than the actual air temperature. A reading would be more accurate if taken in the shade, where the temperature reading would not be greatly different.


Which thermometer is best for baby?

A digital thermometer is less 'intrusive' - as you don't need to hold it in place for any length of time (as you would with a mercury thermometer). Digital ones give you an almost instant reading.


How would a thermometer has measure temperatures using the kelvin scale differ from one that measure temperatures using the celsius scale?

The degrees are the same size on both thermometers. But when the two thermometers are side by side and at the same temperature, the number of the reading on the Celsius thermometer is 273.15 higher than the number of the reading on the Kelvin thermometer.


What would happen if a person who is wering a hevy winter jacket were to place a thermometer inside the jacket next to his or herskin?

The jacket would insulate the thermometer from the surrounding environment, causing it to register a higher temperature as it absorbs the body heat trapped within the jacket. This may lead to an inaccurate reading of the person's actual body temperature.
