tell me about
1-senstivity
2-responsiveness
3-linearity
of thermometer
Okay consider two children, both are hurt with a stick with equal force, but one of the kid does not feel it much while the other starts crying. ( lame, but just for the sake of it. :p) So you see they have been hurt with equal force but one that starts crying felt it more hence he's more sensitive. In the same way when for equal rise in temperature, in one thermometer the length of mercury thread increases much greater than in the other, so we say such a thermometer is more sensitive than other.
Responsivity is just responding to something, more or less.
Linearity is like for every 1 degree change in temperature the thread moves up by 1cm. Similarly for every 2 degree change it moves by by 2cm.
Hope you get an idea.
