Question

A good thermometric liquid should absorb a very small amount of heat energy from the body whose temperature is being recorded.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

When a thermometer is used to measure the temperature of a body, it should absorb only a very small amount of heat from the body such that there is no change in the temperature of the body. Thus, an ideal thermometric fluid should absorb very minimal heat from the body under observation.
