 Thermometer
• Thermometer property :- It is a property which varies according to change
of temperature .
• Every thermometer is designed on the bases of thermometric property.
• E.g. of thermometers –

* Thermometric property :- expansion of liquid (change of volume) with an
increase of temperature.
2- Resistance thermometer ( resistance is term of electricity )
* Thermometric substances : metallic wire
* Thermometric property :- Change of resistance with the change of
temperature .
3- Constant volume gas thermometer .
* Thermometric substances : gas
* Thermometric : change of pressure with a change of temperature.
4- Thermocouple thermometer
* Thermometric substances : two different
metallic wires.
* Thermometric property :- Change of
voltage(electrical) with a change of
temperature .
Two types of scale – (i) Celsius scale(C )
(ii) Kelvin scale (K)
