Chapter Notes

Temperature

  • Temperature: A reliable measure of hotness or coldness of a body. A hotter body has a higher temperature than a colder body.

Thermometer

  • Thermometer: A device that measures temperature.
  • Clinical Thermometer: Used for measuring human body temperatures, typically showing temperatures digitally.
  • Laboratory Thermometer: Used to measure temperature in laboratory settings, with a range typically from -10 °C to 110 °C.

Temperature Scales

  • Celsius Scale: A temperature scale where the unit of temperature is degree Celsius, denoted by °C.
  • Fahrenheit Scale: A temperature scale where the unit of temperature is degree Fahrenheit, denoted by °F.
  • Kelvin Scale: A temperature scale used in scientific work, where the unit is kelvin, denoted by K.

Digital Thermometer

  • Digital Thermometer: Measures temperature with heat sensors and displays it digitally, often used as a safer alternative to mercury thermometers.

Normal Body Temperature

  • Normal Body Temperature: The average body temperature of a healthy human adult is taken to be 37.0 °C or 98.6 °F.

Air Temperature

  • Air Temperature: An important weather parameter monitored at weather stations, often reported as maximum and minimum temperatures.

Key Points

  • The temperature of a body tells us how hot or cold it is.
  • The three most-used scales of temperature are: Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
  • The SI unit for temperature is kelvin.
  • A clinical thermometer is used for measuring body temperature.
  • Laboratory thermometers typically have a temperature range from -10 °C to 110 °C.
