* Limitations of Liquid in Glass Thermometers:

i
.
Difficult to ensure that all liquid is at the same temperature
conducted
2. Glass is a
good insulator so it takes time for heat to be
making it slow to respond to temperature
changes .

good thermometer responds quicker Such thermometers have specific heat

(b)Is this answer accurate ?

Ans: No In .

reality thermistor varies non -

linearly with temperature .

NOTE: Celsius scale only works properly with


things that behave linearly .

* Absolute scale :

Absolute Zero m OK → K E = 05 -

NOTE : If Tkelvin doubles ,
