Which of the following thermometer types best responds to a change in temperature
A
Mercury thermometer
B
Resistance thermometer
C
Gas thermometer
D
Alcohol thermometer
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Resistance thermometers respond faster because they have small sensor mass and use direct electrical detection. Liquid-in-glass and gas thermometers are slower due to thermal expansion and larger thermal inertia, often taking minutes to equilibrate.
