The Working Principle and Sensitivity of Glass Thermometers

A glass thermometer operates based on the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. When the temperature changes, the liquid inside the bulb expands or contracts, causing the liquid column in the capillary tube to rise or fall. This change in the liquid’s height can be read off the scale, indicating the temperature change. The sensitivity
