Answer:
In a thermometer when the bulb comes in contact with a hot object, the liquid inside it expands.
Explanation:
- A thermometer is an instrument that is used to determine the body's temperature.
- Mercury is the liquid used in clinical thermometers.
- It is extensively used because it has a shiny look and can correctly monitor the temperature.
- It has an extremely high boiling point, making it ideal for measuring high-temperature substances.
- It expands consistently at all temperatures because it has a constant coefficient of expansion.
- Mercury has a volume coefficient of expansion of 0.00018, which means that for every degree of temperature increase, it grows by.018 percent in volume.
- A mercury thermometer has a metal reservoir and a thin glass capillary into which it may expand, making the difference clearer to observe.
- As the temperature rises, the mercury in the reservoir expands in volume, but the reservoir's walls confine it; it has nowhere else to go but into the thin column, which translates the minor volume change into a more visible linear change.
- Furthermore, it does not stick to the glass tube's surface.
- This expansion occurs because heat energy causes the atoms in a substance to vibrate more intensely, and the average distance between atoms rises. Materials shrink when temperatures drop for the same reason.
