   Jul 16, 2024 · Thermometers are used to measure temperature according to well-defined scales of measurement, which use pre-defined reference points to help compare quantities. The three most common temperature scales are the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales.

   Three different scales are commonly used to measure temperature: Fahrenheit (expressed as °F), Celsius (°C), and Kelvin (K). Thermometers measure temperature by using materials that expand or contract when heated or cooled.

   A thermometer works based on the principle of thermal expansion. When the temperature increases, the molecules in a substance move faster and take up more space, causing the substance to expand. In a liquid-in-glass thermometer, this substance is typically mercury or colored alcohol.

8. People also ask

   Does a thermometer measure the temperature of an object?

   • Thermometers actually take their own temperature, not the temperature of the object they are measuring. This raises the question of how we can be certain that a thermometer measures the temperature of the object with which it is in contact.

   What is a thermometer based on?

   • It is the evaporation of sweat (or water from a sprinkler or pool) that cools us off. Any physical property that depends on temperature, and whose response to temperature is reproducible, can be used as the basis of a thermometer. Because many physical properties depend on temperature, the variety of thermometers is remarkable.

   Why are there different types of thermometers?

   • Because many physical properties depend on temperature, the variety of thermometers is remarkable. For example, volume increases with temperature for most substances. This property is the basis for the common alcohol thermometer, the old mercury thermometer, and the bimetallic strip (Figure 6.2.1.1 6.2.1. 1).

   What properties are used to measure temperature?

   • This property is the basis for the common alcohol thermometer, the old mercury thermometer, and the bimetallic strip (Figure 6.2.1.1 6.2.1. 1). Other properties used to measure temperature include electrical resistance and color, as shown in Figure 6.2.1.2 6.2.1. 2, and the emission of infrared radiation, as shown in Figure 6.2.1.3 6.2.1. 3.

   What is the scientific definition of temperature?

   • The scientific definition of temperature is less ambiguous than your senses of hot and cold. Temperature is operationally defined to be what we measure with a thermometer. (Many physical quantities are defined solely in terms of how they are measured.

   Whatever it is that temperature is a measure of, it is reflected by the reading on a thermometer. So exactly how does a thermometer work? How does it reliably meter whatever it is that temperature is a measure of? Today, there are a variety of types of thermometers.
