    Chapter 1 Temperature and Thermometers


    1.1 Temperature and the temperature scale
    A Temperature and the temperature scale

    1 Temperature is a measure of the degree of _______________ of an object.

    2 A _______________ is an instrument to measure temperature.

    3 A temperature scale is defined by choosing two temperatures as __________________

    and dividing the range in-between into equal divisions called _______________.

    4 The __________________ temperature scale is defined as follows:

    (a) (b) ____________ point


    ____________ point
     lower fixed point  upper fixed point
     0 C  100 C
     temperature of pure  temperature of steam over

    ____________ ice pure ____________ water

    (c) divided into ________ degrees Celsius (C)

    0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 C

    (a) The thermometer is then put in melting ice and boiling water for calibration. If a linear
    resistance-temperature relationship is assumed, how does the calibration graph look?
    Draw the graph in the above figure.
    (b) The reading of the calibrated thermometer is 40 C.
    (i) What is the resistance of the wire when the measurement is taken?
    (ii) Hence find the actual temperature.
