Q
thermometric substances
A
certain substances in thermometers to measure temperature
vary linearly and continuously with temp
2
Q
thermometric property
A
physical property of thermometric substances that varies continuously and linearly with temperature
3
Q
formula for calculating temp
A
diter= ( (Xditer-X0)/(X100-X0) )x100
diter is in degree cel
X can be length, resistance ,voltage, pressure
