On a medical or room thermometer the smallest unit that you are likely to come across is 1 degree.
How is a thermometer like a number line?
the smallest perfect number is 1
no 0 isn't the smallest number because there are negative numbers so there really is no biggest number nor smallest number
1 is the Natural number which is the smallest Odd number.
On a medical or room thermometer the smallest unit that you are likely to come across is 1 degree.
The smallest unit on the Celsius thermometer is 1 degree Celsius.
The world's smallest thermometer was invented by molecular biophysicist Marcelo A. Carignano. This nanoscale thermometer is made from a single DNA strand with fluorescent markers that glow different colors depending on the temperature, allowing for precise temperature measurements at the nanoscale level.
How is a thermometer like a number line?
The least count of a thermometer is the smallest temperature difference that it can measure accurately. Typically, for a standard mercury-in-glass thermometer, the least count is 0.1°C.
least count of thermometer = smallest calibration on thermometer / total no of divisions between zero & smallest calibration so if 0 10 20 30 these are calibration & 20 divisions are there between these calibartion than, LC = 10/20 = 0.5
0.1 is typical, however if you have a Beckmann thermometer then you can read 0.01 0C. These thermometers are large expensive and fragile so not commonly available even in laboratories.
The least count of a laboratory thermometer typically ranges from 0.1°C to 0.5°C, depending on the precision and accuracy of the thermometer. This value indicates the smallest temperature difference that can be measured and displayed by the thermometer.
The resolution of a thermometer refers to the smallest interval or increment between temperature readings that the thermometer is capable of measuring. It indicates the level of detail or precision with which temperature can be recorded. A higher resolution thermometer will be able to detect smaller changes in temperature compared to a lower resolution thermometer.
NUMBERING is a correct position the number lines on a thermometer.
The resolution of a digital thermometer is the smallest incremental change in temperature that the thermometer can detect and display. It is typically expressed in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. For example, a thermometer with a resolution of 0.1°C can display temperature changes as small as one-tenth of a degree.
The least count of a thermometer scale is the smallest temperature difference that can be measured by the scale. It is typically based on the precision of the markings on the scale, which can vary depending on the design and calibration of the thermometer.
