Question

We can always trust our senses to measure temperature.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

We cannot always trust our senses to measure temperature because it has the following drawbacks:-

1. It gives an estimate of only a very small range of temperature. The very low temperature that numbs(deprived of feeling) the skin and the very high temperature that burns the skin are the limits of this range.
2. The skin estimates the temperature difference rather than the actual temperature.

Hence, the given statement is false.
